Adding Privacy Slats

• 1). Select a color and pattern of privacy slat that coordinates with the house. Privacy slats are thin, flexible, UV-resistant slats that get woven through the chain links of the fence, offering an opaque or semi-opaque screen.
  
  
• 2). Weave the individual slats in and out of the chain-link fence as though weaving a basket. Make sure the angle-cut ends are pointing down toward the ground.
  
  
• 3). Finish the look of the fence off by adding a safety cap to the top pointed prongs of the chain-link fence.
  
  

Adding Rolled Bamboo or Reed Fencing

• 1). Purchase rolls of natural bamboo rolled fencing or reed fencing and black-plastic zip ties.
  
  
• 2). Unroll the fencing along the front of the chain-link fence. Take spring clamps and periodically, along the length of the rolled fencing, clamp the top of the fencing to the chain-link fence to hold it in position. Be sure that the bottom of the rolled fencing is not touching the ground or concrete to prevent rotting.
  
  
• 3). Stand at the back of the chain-link fencing and take a plastic zip tie and weave it in and around a strip of bamboo or a couple widths of reed. Pull the end of the zip tie back through the bamboo or reed, and then back through the chain-link fence.
  
  
• 4). Pull the zip tie close around part of the chain-link fence to secure the rolled bamboo or reed fencing tightly to the chain-link fence.
  
  
• 5). Place at least three zip ties along a vertical line of the rolled fencing. Continue to tie the rolled fencing to the chain-link fence every foot to give good support.
