Pro Tips

✓ Count slats needed: roughly 11 slats per linear foot of 4 ft chain link
✓ UV-stabilized PVC slats hold color much longer than standard ones
✓ Weave slats diagonally through the diamond pattern for a woven look
✓ Use a slat installation tool or tape measure as a guide for even spacing
✓ Cap rail over the tops prevents slats from rattling loose in wind
