Spruce up a chain link fence
Here is a simple way to add privacy (ok, a tiny bit) and some interest to a chain link fence. Simply rip cedar slats 1" X 1/4" and 4-5 ft in length depending on the height of your fence and 'slot' them into the chain link. The photo below is one example but you can double up the slats for more privacy (I could have added slats between the ones shown in the photo). Any, I think it beats the plastic inserts that are pretty common.

Well this is a very interesting way to spruce up these fences. My husband and I just had a chain link fence installed the wooded area of our backyard. The fence blends in so well with the woods it's hard to see it sometimes. Thanks so much for this idea. I may think about doing this to the one part of the fence.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your idea. We are thinking about removing slats and having our chain link professionally painted to coat the old galvanized steel. This would be a great alternative to replacing the metal slats we have now.
ReplyDeleteBleeding heart is such an interesting plant. I always marvel at God's creation when these bloom every year! chain link fence accessories
