I purchased the Grey 5 boxes of the 4 foot slats
(our fence is 11 gage - 2 1/4" diamond slat size) I called and verified with the company that installed our fence 8 yrs ago, the gage / diamond size b4 purchasing. They offered to have me buy their vendors privacy slats and install for about $1000. To install a privacy vinyl privacy fence they quoted $14k. No thanks"¦ including s&h of $60 UPS
( which I checked and that is what USPS charges for 31 lbs from vendor to my location) this cost $299. WAY cheaper"¦We were trying to cover one side of our fence due to neighbor not cleaning up their yard, and wanted privacy from their dogs/mess. My husband said it was my project, and I did it all by myself (girl power..lol) I'm not mechanically inclined, and it took me about 6 hours over 2 days to complete it start to finish. My suggestion is have a small stool to sit on/scissors/butter knife/ U shaped stakes ( you can buy on Amazon also - once your finished you need to secure the fence to the ground- per our fence professional) so I bought those and for every 10 feet used 3 stakes. That way if you have high winds, the weight adding the stakes will not topple over your fence. I first put the bottom pieces on, then put all the slats in place (using one box at a time) and while sitting on the stool used the butter knife to open up the bottom piece wide enough to push the slat down and lock into place. I had the best luck pulling the bottom piece lip toward me and then getting the slat to lock into place. It's time consuming, but take your time and you'll get the hang of it. When I was finished, I went back over the top of each slat pushed down gently to make sure each slat was
" locked in place" then put my stakes in the ground. A few times I had to push back a metal twist piece to get the slat to drop down into the diamond, but they are pretty simple to do. I did trim 2 pieces at the start and end of the fence to not leave any openings. Overall, it looks really nice and the slats are really nice quality. Arrived within a week of ordering. Really impressed myself, didn't ask for husband's help at all, and he was impressed I did it all on my own, and how nice and private it looks. Would highly recommend. Hope my tips helps others when start this process. June 2023 update- slats held up so well this past year decided to finish the rest of chain link fence with more slats, and installed privacy fence on one side to give complete privacy from neighbors. Very happy. Ordered 2 more boxes, only needed 1 to finish project. Refund simple and easy, they must have updated their policies. No return restock / shipping fees, and said no return of the extra box required but giving full refund of unopened box. Awesome company. Thanks!

Sturdy enough for the price and easy to install. I over ordered but it saved me because I would have been short two slats. Still not sure how they calculated the width of coverage you get per box because I really thought I was going to need a box and a half to cover my fence based on the description. Trying to figure out the measurements based on the item description was a little confusing and you need to look at what the actual length of the material is and not. Based on fence size as they have it listed but I did end up ordering the right size. The problem I think most people would run into is that their fence is built with different sized pipe or the pipes are not installed the same height for every fence this product is measured to fit within the framing of the fence not from the top all the way to the bottom. The product also accounts for details like the tension bar. So depending on how new and how professionally build your fence is is going to determine what A) if this product is right for you. B) there the slats are going to sit in the fence. & C) the how difficult the installation in going to be. My fence is old, bent and not to average dimensions (59" from top to bottom) so I didn't get to use the bottom piece that locks in all the slats because my fence is too bent at the bottom but the slats fit just fine and the friction from the chain link is holding them in place just fine.

I'm thrilled with my purchase of the FenceSource Wave Slat! These privacy slats have truly transformed my chain link fence. Not only do they provide the privacy I was looking for, but they were also incredibly easy to install. Maneuvering them through the fence and connecting them at the bottom was a breeze, and the result is fantastic. The Wave Slat's design adds a touch of elegance while effectively blocking the view. If you're looking to enhance your fence's privacy and appearance, these slats are the way to go. Highly impressed!

This product arrived on time. They were long but easy to cut.this is a permanent dog run and we wanted to add shade to chain link. I think the coverage will be fine. We live in s.w. Arizona and finished this right before a monsoon is going to hit. I have no opinion on durability because we had 31 straight days of over 115 degrees and waiting to see how they hold up to 30 + m.p.h. winds. I just finished putting and connecting all the slats into the bottom rail which was easy. Time will tell. But for now, I'm giving it 5 stars.

I needed to add some slats to my 9 ft front gate for privacy. My fence guy had some companies that wanted to charge $100 to 200+ for just this one gate. So I checked Amazon, found Fence Source products, read the reviews and many said how easy they were to setup. So I bought one box and OMG I installed them all within 30 minutes and that's with having pretty bad arthritis in my hands. After you put the base strip on the bottom you simply slide the slats in from the top and push a little and they snap into the bottom base strip. AMAZING! Thanks so much for this great product. It's BETTER than slats others offered, much more privacy and cost 1/4 of the cost, and most importantly process was so user friendly and quick.
