Ridged Slats®

White Ridged Slats for 4ft chain link are deliberately cut to about 44.5 inches long. These fence inserts are designed primarily for 4ft 11 or 9 gauge chain link with a two inch diamond. Also works in economy chain link with a larger diamond pattern, but privacy will be less. Slats must be installed correctly and be fully inserted inside the wire mesh of your fence to achieve the desired results. Cannot be used to extend the fence height. Not suitable for fences on a steep slope.

Each slat measures 1.25 inches wide. Bottom-locking Ridged Slats will provide approximately 85 percent blockage in chain link with a 2″ diamond. Slats installed in chain link mesh with a 2-1/4″ diamond will achieve approximately 80% coverage. Slats used in economy chain link fabric with a 2-3/8″ diamond will produce about 75% privacy. Diamond size is determined by measuring diagonally between the parallel wires – NOT corner to corner.

Each box contains 82 “W” shaped slats and three 42-inch pieces of Viper Channel – enough to cover 10 linear feet of chain link with a 2″ diamond pattern. Chain link with a larger diamond mesh pattern will use fewer slats but ALL the track provided in each box. 2-1/4″ chain link will use about 77 slats per 10 feet. 2-3/8″ chain link will use about 74 slats per 10 feet. Viper Channel is available for sale separately in case you need more. Remember a larger diamond equates to less privacy.

Slats are manufactured in the USA using domestically sourced HDPE (high density polyethylene), color concentrate, and UV inhibitors to protect from the harmful effects of the sun. Tube Slats are covered by a 30-year warranty – yet claims are very rare. HDPE privacy enhancements are suitable for use in any climate or weather. It is the fence owner’s responsibility to ensure their fence will withstand the increased wind load caused by the addition of slats.

Single wall bottom lock Ridged Slats provide the most privacy for the money compared to other vertically inserted slat designs. This wider extrusion uses less material allowing us to package more slats in a smaller box to protect the slats. This makes Ridged Slats a more affordable option for homeowners, schools, colleges, businesses, stadiums, storage facilities, etc. Slats are a permanent addition to fence that lasts much longer than wind screen or privacy tape.

Ridged Slats® are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), color pigments, and ultra violet (UV) inhibitors specifically designed to retard the harmful effects of the sun and lengthen the life of the product.

Each slat measures approximately 1-¼ inches wide with the length being approximately 3 ½” shorter than the overall height of the fence, (e.g. 6’ slats are 68.5”). These vertical privacy inserts add approximately 85 percent privacy to regular 2” diamond, 11-gauge chain link fabric. They also work with 9 or 11 ½ gauge chain link fabric. The diamond is measured from inside to inside of each parallel side. The larger the diamond, the less privacy achieved.

Simply wash with water or high pressure water.

Installation of Ridged Slats® is very simple and requires no special tools. Slats easily slide down vertically through the chain link and lock into the Viper Channel™ Locking System. Each box includes 3 Viper Channel™ pieces 42” in length, allowing for 10’ of coverage with 6” for spare. These channels are attached to installation instructions and an ‘orange’ ribbon, which extends out the end of the box for easy retrieval. See the installation diagram below
