Privacy Fence Slats

Privacy slats, also known as rigid fence privacy inserts, are an effective way to add privacy to your rigid mesh fence. Block unwanted views into your yard by installing slats onto your wire fence panels.
Fence slats are a popular choice for privacy screening because they offer several advantages. They’re straightforward to install—just slide them vertically between the mesh wires. If you’re using wooden slats, horizontal supports and a few nails will help keep them secure.
PVC privacy slats, like other types, require minimal maintenance. They’re durable and stand up well to the elements. Even in snowy conditions, your wooden slats will maintain their appearance throughout the winter.
For the best results, choose high-quality privacy slats. At Districlos, every product is carefully inspected and meets strict European standards. Explore our full range of wood and PVC slats.

How to choose your privacy slats?

There are several material options for adding privacy to your rigid fence: PVC slats, wooden slats, and composite slats. Choose the material that best matches the look you want for your yard. Each material has its own pros and cons, which we’ll outline below.
Before ordering, check the height of your fence panels. Our kits are designed so that one set of slats will cover a 2.5-meter (approx. 8 ft 2 in) rigid mesh panel.

Why use privacy slats?

You can customize your fence to suit your style. PVC slats are available in a range of colors to match any outdoor design. Some of our PVC slats can also be woven for a more unique and modern look. To create visual interest, alternate the direction of the slats or change the pattern after every few inserts.
Privacy slats serve multiple purposes: they provide shade, block unwanted views, and act as a windbreak.

What types of privacy slats are available?

The most common option is the PVC privacy slat. PVC is affordable, lightweight, and easy to clean, making it a practical choice.
There are also wooden slats that offer greater strength and add a natural touch to your yard.
For quick and easy installation, consider woven slat systems, available in colors like anthracite gray to match your fence.
Finally, composite fence slats are becoming increasingly popular. They offer a natural appearance and modernize your rigid mesh panels while maintaining privacy.

How do you install privacy slats?

For rigid privacy fences, slats are inserted directly into the fence panel using V-shaped reinforcement profiles and finishing caps.
For semi-rigid options like PVC reed screens, you can secure them with privacy screen clips, wire, or staples.

What are the regulations for installing privacy slats?

Some outdoor installations are subject to local regulations, including maximum fence heights. Check with your local planning office to make sure your privacy screen meets all requirements.
