Privacy Chain Link (SlatMaster & Privacy Slats)
Privacy chain link with SlatMaster pre-woven slats and PDS insert slats, for screening storage yards, equipment areas and property lines behind new or existing chain link fence.
About Privacy Chain Link (SlatMaster & Privacy Slats)
Privacy slats slide vertically into chain link mesh to block sight lines. SlatMaster is a pre-woven system that arrives already in the fabric, available in 8 colors for galvanized fabric or with Spectra and PermaFused coated fabric. Per the manufacturer, SlatMaster slats carry a 10-year limited warranty against fading, breakage and red rust.
If you already have a fence, PDS privacy slat inserts fit 1-3/4, 2 and 2-1/4 in mesh as well as 3-1/2 x 5 in diamond. PVC slats give about 90 percent privacy. Windscreen is another option when you want screening without slats.
For a privacy chain link quote, tell us whether this is new fence or a retrofit, the mesh size, fence height, footage, slat color and fabric coating. Axiom South itemizes slats, fabric and framework separately and ships nationwide.

Installation notes
- Terminal posts (end, corner, gate) must be set in concrete or otherwise anchored to resist tension.
- Stretch fabric from one terminal post to the other, then tie to line posts and rails with fence ties.
- A bottom tension wire can limit movement at the bottom of the mesh; hog-ring the fabric to it about every 2 ft.
- A top rail is common but optional if terminal posts are braced and a top tension wire is used; fences 10 ft or taller often add intermediate rails.
Warranty
SlatMaster slats: 10-year limited against fading, breakage and red rust
Good to know
Slats and windscreen add wind load, so make sure posts and framework are sized for it.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a top rail?
Not always. A top tension wire can replace a top rail when terminal posts are braced correctly, but taller fences often add intermediate rails.
