Customer Reviews for M-D Building Products M-D 5 ft. Privacy Fence Slat Black

You can see in your yard, but not a clear view.

this is a great product. it is not as thick as the more expensive slats but it is wider (which provides more concealment) and easier to install because it is more pliable (however, still very tedious and time consuming).

Easy to install, great product, looks great

Easy to install and looks great

It was very easy to install. I purchased 4 boxes more. I was was happy with my purchase.

We had a long fence in the back of the yard. These slats were easy to install and made the fence look a whole lot better.

I ordered 1 box just to try it, easily put it in myself (age 75), and ordered 8 more boxes. It looks awesome. The slats are sturdy & attractive, and slide in easily to click lock into the bottom rail. Totally beautified a 30 year old chain link fence between my neighbor & me. I go outside just to look at it!!!

Our old fence covers are warn and frayed. The new Fence Slats look so nice and seem like they will last forever!

We have Sanford and son type neighbors and was tired of looking at the junk piles. This works great, we can still see shadows of items but not the mess. I highly recommend this fence. It was easy to put in and both my husband and I doing it together was a breeze. Our neighbors who are nice people understood us wanting to put up the fence. So it was a win win. We both get the privacy we want.

I have wanted to do this to my fence for years. Not total privacy, but enough. I love it!

I ordered these slats and they were just what we needed. Will need to order a couple more boxes to finish the job. Also, the price is great, doesn’t feel like I’m breaking the bank. Easy to install, of course the job goes faster with extra set of hands. But, all good.

easy to work with ... needed 4 ft high .... cut 8 footers in half ... rotated tan n green ... house is tan, fence is green ...

We couldn't be happier with the expedited delivery (arrived much more quickly than projected date), the quality of the product, its color, and the ease of installation. It was everything for which we were hoping and planning! The only suggestion would be to include an extra 1 or 2 bottom tracks, in which the slats snap in, to allow for a little more creativity and/or customization, instead of the exact way the manufacturer instructs. We installed them in privacy doors for an extension to our shed.

Easy to install. Sterdy product. Looks great. I'm pleased with the way it looks and the color choices. It didn't take long to install a 50 ft area. The product arrived earlier then expected. I like the privacy and the fact you can still get the breeze.

I've only had them for a couple of weeks and they have stood up well and are very attractive. They look durable and easy to install. The casa verde slats comes in different colors I chose green and they make my yard look nicer. I recommend these slats.

Affordable and easy to install. Love the look it gave our backyard.

Slats came in a unmarked cardniard box with no instructions. This is not a problem for me since I've installed these several times but it might be for a first time buyer

Easy to install. Looks great.

Good for my back yard! Doesn’t come with instructions so I guess I installed wrong when I put on the top to frame the fence but they looks perfect and I love it!

I purchased this product to help a chain link dog enclosure look less horrible from the street and it's good for that. It is not a privacy fence- you can definitely see through/beyond it, especially if the viewer is close to the fence. At first I was installing it as directed with the horizontal part on the bottom, but because my fence panels have been kicked around a bit and aren't perfect, the top edge was varying- I could have cut them but that would be a pain. I tried it again with the horizontal on top and the result was MUCH better. The slats are simple to install, if your panels have been used and aren't perfect a needlenose pliars will help to straighten out any bent places so the slats can pass through more easily. I'd recommend trying it both ways and deciding what works best for you.

I installed two boxes today for shade in my dog runs, and still have more to do. They were very easy to install - I'm 5'4" and installed them on a 6' fence with no issue. I'm hoping they hold up to the strong winds I get here sometimes, but since it isn't sealed between slats I don't think that will be an issue.

These fence slats work great! Very easy to install and look nice. I've had them almost two years and they are holding up well. They make a great privacy screen for chain link. They block my neighbor's view of my yard but I can see well enough out to see if someone has pulled into the driveway. They do seem to make the gate heavier so I'm not sure if that will will cause issues in the future. They were tall enough to fit my fence with a little extra to spare

This could have been 5 stars if the item came in correct size! These fence slats I received are not 5 feet tall. Unfortunately I realized that they are 3 inches shorter than what they were described to be after I have already installed most of them.

My particular chain-link fence is only about 4' high. I ordered the 8' slats and cut them in half. Anyone concerned about cutting the slats; don't be. I used an old pair of scissors to cut them. After a while, I was cutting them two at a time. I cut the square corners off to make them snake through the fence a little easier. I didn't need the locking channel for my installation. However, I was able to start on my entrance gates with the remaining pieces and used the locking channel there. It works as expected. Two holes in the slat provide a horizontal slot for the slat to lock onto the hook in the channel. I only ordered 1 box of slats to see the quality and to see if they were worth it. I'm ordering more to complete the job on the gates.

was impressed with how easy these were to install.

This slat is very thin and flimsy. It is only 1-1/4 wide while the chain link is either 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inch wide! So that it affords very little privacy at all. The material needs to be at least 2-3/8 wide to be effective for privacy!

I bought this fence slat to replace another brand ( Pexco Fence Weave Roll) that you had to cut to length and install at a diagonal angle with brass connectors.The Pexco brand was thin, constantly ripped where the brass connectors were installed and only lasted about 6 months. This Casa Verde brand is much thicker and installs quickly and much easier. This brand looks much better once installed and I expect it to last for many years. Spend a little more money and purchase this. It's well worth the added cost.

I was getting sick of looking at the bamboo screens I had wired to my chain link fence and I started exploring other privacy options. These fence slats seemed to be the best price per foot. Of course it's not 100% private but it sure helps a lot and they actually look much nicer than I had anticipated. For installation I inserted most of the slats first, then added the bottom barrier after. It felt easier that way, but that may just be me. Also of note, my order arrived in three days, despite the expected delivery time of 2-3 weeks. I just ordered five more boxes to finish the second half of the yard.

so easy for me to install - had so much fun, got others to help - made a race of it - bonus it looks GREAT!

Husband & I installed the fence slats in less than 1 hour on an 11 foot chain link gate. Super easy! The slats do not provide complete privacy - but they aren't intended to. They work beautifully for what we needed them to do. They're pretty close to being color matched to our home's stucco color, so they blend naturally with the exterior decor. Very pleased with the results.
