Enhance your outdoor space with the Made in America Slat Depot Single Wall Bottom Locking Privacy Slat, designed specifically for 8ft chain link fences. These white Ridged Slats are expertly crafted to measure approximately 92.5 inches long, making them ideal for 8ft 11 or 9 gauge chain link with a two-inch diamond pattern. If you have economy chain link with a larger diamond, these slats can still be used, though the level of privacy will be 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 fences on steep slopes. Each slat measures 1.25 inches wide, providing a sleek and effective solution for your privacy needs.
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 around 80%, while economy chain link fabric with a 2-3/8 inch diamond will yield about 75% privacy. It's important to measure the diamond size diagonally between the parallel wires for accurate installation.
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 your chain link has 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, about 77 slats will be needed per 10 feet, while 2-3/8 inch chain link will require around 74 slats.
Manufactured in the USA from domestically sourced HDPE (high density polyethylene), these slats are designed to withstand the elements. They include color concentrate and UV inhibitors to protect against sun damage, ensuring durability in any climate. The 30-year warranty on these HDPE privacy enhancements is a testament to their quality, with claims being quite rare.
Single wall bottom lock Ridged Slats offer the best privacy for your investment compared to other vertically inserted slat designs. Their wider extrusion allows for less material usage, enabling more slats to be packaged in a smaller box, which protects them during shipping. This makes Ridged Slats a cost-effective choice for homeowners, schools, businesses, and more. Unlike temporary solutions like wind screens or privacy tape, these slats provide a permanent addition to your fence that lasts significantly longer.
