About Privacy Slats
Privacy Without the Cost of a Solid Fence
Privacy slats are a smart way to add privacy to chain link without replacing it with a full solid fence. Quality PVC vertical slats weave through the chain link mesh to block sightlines — giving you approximately 80% visual coverage while keeping the strength and durability of chain link underneath.
Available in multiple colours to complement your property. Compatible with both galvanized and black coated chain link. Post spacing is adjusted to 6 feet (from the standard 8) when slats are included, to account for the additional wind load.

How It Works
How Shorty's Installs Privacy Slats
Privacy slats go in after the chain link is properly set and tensioned. Four simple steps.
01
Chain Link Fence Installed First
The chain link fence is properly set and tensioned before any slats are inserted. Posts are spaced at 6 feet to handle the additional wind load that slats create.
02
Slats Woven Vertically Through the Mesh
Each slat woven vertically through the fabric openings and slid fully into place. Done carefully to ensure even coverage across the full fence line.
03
Locking Caps Secured Along Top Rail
Caps secured along the top rail to hold slats firmly in position. Prevents slats from shifting in wind or over time.
04
Spacing and Alignment Checked
Even coverage and consistent finish checked across the full fence line before we leave the property.
