You can do it, all they are is metal Venetian blind lengths.
Just weave them into the fence. |

Recently saw some that look like fake Christmas tree material. Much more attractive than the ones I think you are talking about. No clue on cost, availability, or suitability for your project, but I thought it was cool.

A place I worked had a work property in a nice neighborhood. It seems we had "plastic" slates installed in the chain link fence to make the locals feel better.

I’ve used them before and liked them but I’d say to spend extra for the metal instead of the plastic.

When it came time for my chain link fence (previous property) to become a privacy fence, I pulled down the wire, sold it, and installed cedar planks. My property was adjacent to a vacant grass lot, and my cunt neighbor started parking welfare busses in the lot.

Yes it is a do it yourself project.
I will say if you live in an area that gets high winds these slates turn the fence into a parachute and I have seen many fences blow over either detaching the chain link from the poles or bending the poles. Some people leave out every other or every two or three slates to help avoid the wind issue. |

You can DIY but it's fucking tedious.
I'm never doing it again. I have the pine looking type. |

You can also get the premade wood lattice work stuff designed for gazebos. Then just zip tie it on.
Not quite as clean a look as weaving material into the fence, but much less time consuming and easier to change out if it gets too weathered. |

Sorry, but in a residential application it is a terrible look.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sorry, but in a residential application it is a terrible look. Sides and front, I think I'd agree with you. For trying to keep our dogs from antagonizing each other, I like it better than laying crap up against it or using wood that can be chewed through. Even zip tying lattice to it, you hit the part where the property line isn't flat. |

Quote HistoryThat looks interesting, and viable. I'd have sworn that this stuff was typically diagonal though...?? |

You can get black ones that slide in from the top & you push them straight down.
They're about $50 for 10' worth of slats. They go in relatively easy in a new fence, but they're a bitch to get in once the fence is all banged up. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with water & dip the tips in - they slide in a little easier when wet. (The ones that have a horizontal slat to lock them in place don't really give you much privacy because they're thinner.) You can also get a privacy tarp made for fencing - green on one side, black on the other - then all you have to do is zip tie it to the inside of the fence. Those come in 50' or 100' sections. |

Vertical plastic is what you want, you push them straight down & don't have to weave them. Don't get aluminum, you'll be listening to them every time the wind blows, plus they're sharp. Make sure you get the right size, they come in 4', 5', & 6'. Once you get them all in place tap them from the top with a 2x4 to get them all to the same height. |

Be sure your fence is designed for the additional wind load that will be placed upon it when increasing wind resistence. Most people dont take this into account and end up replacing their fence after it gets knocked down by high winds.

Be warned that if you live in an area that gets high wind your fence will turn into a giant sail.
