Abstract An assembly of slat members for insertion in a chain link fence includes a plurality of elongate, first slat members having opposed, substantially planar faces predimensioned to be interwoven between vertically consecutive links of the fence, each first slat member having one end formed with edges and a pair of resilient, spaced-apart flange members. The assembly also includes a second slat member having opposed, substantially planar faces predimensioned to be interwoven between horizontally consecutive, lower links of the fence for presenting an edge facing upwardly. The first slat members are downwardly positionable through the vertically consecutive links to a position whereby the bottom edge of each first slat member abuts or seats upon the upwardly facing edge of the second slat member, with the flange members overlapping opposite faces of the second slat member.
An assembly of slat members insertable in chain link fence comprising: a plurality of elongate, first slat members having opposed, substantially planar faces predimensioned to be interwoven between vertically consecutive links of the fence, each first slat member having a lower end formed with bottom edges from which extend a pair of substantially planar and resilient, spaced-apart flange members which taper inwardly widthwise; and an elongate second slat member, having opposed, substantially planar faces predimensioned to be interwoven between horizontally consecutive, lower links of the fence for presenting an upwardly facing edge so that when the first slat members are disposed toward and positioned against the second slat member at any location along its upwardly facing edge, the bottom edges of the first slat members will seat upon the upwardly facing edge of the second slat member so that the flange members overlap opposite faces of the second slat member.
