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.

Made in USA! Yay! Material was interesting because it had a texture finish. However the size was off. Sadly I am returning. Quality was great!

THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING! I ORDERDED 5 CASES TO COMPLETE MY PROJECT. I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE 20 PCS MISSING AT THE END OF THE INSTALLATION. I CONTACTED FENCE SOURCE AND THEY SENT ME THE MISSING SLATES. SUPER EASY TO INSTALL AND LOOKS FANTASTIC! GREAT PRODUCT AND AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. THANK YOU FENCE SOURCE!!!!!!

Easy to install, once you get the hang of it, but very tedious and time consuming. Our fenceline is mostly in full sun this time of year, so I may wait for cooler weather to finish up the project. I bought two different brands, and they are nearly identical. I couldn't decide on a color, so I alternated 3 straps of 2 different colors and I am happy with the result. The privacy is debatable, depending on where the sun is, but it helps make our country property look a little more refined.

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!
