Pexco PDS Bottom Lock Privacy Slats for Chain Link Fence

PDS® Bottom Lock Privacy Slats for Chain Link Fence (PDS-BOTTOM-LOCK)

The PDS® Bottom Lock fence slat is the most popular privacy fence slat in North America. It provides a simple, economical and attractive way to enhance a chain link fence. With over 40 years of experience extruding this product and an exclusive, patented, locking design, you can be assured of the highest standards in quality—from the raw materials used in manufacturing to the finished product in your fence.

Bottom Lock slats are sold in bags which provide approximately 10 linear feet of coverage (each bag contains 82 individual slats). All slats are also approximately 3-1/2" shorter that the actual height of fence.

To install, first insert bottom lock rail horizontally in first full diamond at the bottom of the fence with the open side facing up. Next, insert vertical slats with beveled/notched end downward. The slats will engage and interlock with the bottom rail. Push the vertical slat into the horizontal channel to lock-in place. No special tools are needed, but a pair of Fence Pliers come in handy to straighten any wire that is deformed or bent.

Note: The Top Lock Chain Link Fence Slat is designed to work with a fence that has a mesh size of 2" or larger. This means that they will typically work well with a 12 gauge, 11-1/2 gauge, 11 gauge, 9 gauge, 8 gauge, or 6 gauge chain link fence mesh. It is best to double check your mesh size before ordering.

DESIGN: Bottom-Lock Slats are flat tubular in shape, with reinforced "legs" inside for extra durability. Our patented, locking channel provides a "snap-in" locking effect for security and to deter vandalism.

STANDARD HEIGHTS: 4', 5', 6', 7', and 8'. 10' and 12' available on request. If you have a fence that is higher than the measurements shown, you can always double a common height to accomplish the task (i.e. If you have a 10' high chain link fence, simply use (2) 5' slats).

SLAT LENGTH: 3-1/2" shorter than overall height of fence.
