Green 7ft Ridged Slat for Chain Link Fence

To install, simply slide the Viper Lock ChannelTM horizontally into the bottom of the first fully enclosed diamond of chain link (see details in pictures) and then slide each slat vertically through the diamonds of the chain link until it clicks into the locking channel. Take care to face each slat the same direction. DO NOT WEAVE in and out of the chain link. Chain link is woven in a way that leaves a space for the slat to slide down through the fence. Damaged or bent chain link fence may need to be repaired to facilitate slat installation. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure your fence will withstand the increased wind load of adding slats.

How much privacy can I expect? The amount of privacy achieved varies depending on the size of the diamond of the chain link used. The size of the chain link diamond is the space measured between two parallel wires in the diamond weave (not corner to corner). Two inch diamond requires approximately 82 slats every 10 feet providing 85 percent coverage (1.25" x 82 ÷ 120" = 85.4%). Economy chain link with a 2.375" diamond requires approximately 74 slats every 10 feet providing 75% coverage (1.25" x 74 ÷ 120" = 77.1%). Chain link fabric with a diamond pattern larger than two inches will use fewer slats than provided in each unit. Extra Viper Lock ChannelTM is available for purchase to use with extra slats.
