Made in America Slat Depot Bottom Locking Privacy Slat for Chain Link

The Made in America Slat Depot Single Wall Bottom Locking Privacy Slat is the perfect solution for enhancing your 5ft chain link fence. Measuring approximately 56.55 inches long, these white Ridged Slats are specifically designed for 5ft 11 or 9 gauge chain link with a two inch diamond pattern. They can also be used in economy chain link, although the privacy level may be slightly reduced.

To achieve optimal results, it is crucial that the slats are installed correctly and fully inserted within the wire mesh of your fence. Please note that these slats cannot be used to extend the height of your fence and are not suitable for steep slopes. Each slat measures 1.25 inches wide, providing a sleek and effective privacy solution.

One of the standout features of these bottom-locking Ridged Slats is their impressive blockage capability. When installed in chain link with a 2-inch diamond, you can expect approximately 85 percent blockage. For chain link mesh with a 2-1/4 inch diamond, the coverage is about 80%, while economy chain link fabric with a 2-3/8 inch diamond will yield around 75% privacy. Remember, the diamond size is determined by measuring diagonally between the parallel wires, not corner to corner.

Each box contains 82 W shaped slats along with three 42-inch pieces of Viper Channel, providing enough material to cover 10 linear feet of chain link with a 2-inch diamond pattern. If you're working with a larger diamond mesh pattern, you will use fewer slats but will still require all the track provided in each box. For 2-1/4 inch chain link, approximately 77 slats will be needed per 10 feet, while 2-3/8 inch chain link will require about 74 slats.

Manufactured in the USA using high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these slats come with color concentrate and UV inhibitors to protect against sun damage. The HDPE privacy enhancements are suitable for any climate, ensuring durability and longevity. Each purchase is backed by a 30-year warranty, although claims are rare due to the high quality of the materials used.

Single wall bottom lock Ridged Slats offer exceptional privacy for the cost, especially when compared to other vertically inserted slat designs. This wider extrusion uses less material, allowing for more slats to be packaged in a smaller box, which protects the slats during shipping. This makes Ridged Slats a more economical choice for homeowners, schools, businesses, and various facilities.

In summary, the Made in America Slat Depot Single Wall Bottom Locking Privacy Slat is a permanent addition to your fence that provides a long-lasting solution for privacy, far exceeding the temporary fixes of wind screens or privacy tape.
