ABSTRACT:
A privacy panel system for ornamental fences that include a plurality of panel members that are dimensioned to fit within adjacent pickets of the ornamental fence to close off and provide privacy between the pickets. Each panel member comprises a central section with offset attachment wings, the latter of which are affixed to the back planar face of the parallel fence pickets. The central section is offset to extend within and between adjacent pickets, but offset from the front face thereof. To provide privacy between a picket and a post, such as an end post, an elongated trim piece is provided having a first edge defining a slot with a slot gap substantially equal to the thickness of the privacy panel to enable a free edge of a central section of the privacy panel to be tightly retained within the slot. The free edge of the privacy panel is formed by cutting the central section vertically to provide a free end, which is rigidly and securely retained within the slot. Thus, the spacing between a picket and an end post, which is typically not of uniform spacing, can be closed off through the use of the end post trim piece in combination with the cut central section of the privacy panel.
