ABSTRACT:
A slat for use in chain link fences is provided. The slat generally includes an elongated, imperforate body member and at least first and second fins extending laterally and proximally relative to and from the body member. The first and second fins of the slat may be configured and oriented to extend into knuckles of a chain link fence such that end portions of the first and second slats are pinched or frictionally engaged within the knuckles of a chain link fence, which locks or secures each slat within a corresponding channel of a chain link fence. The slat may further include third and fourth fins which extend laterally and distally relative to the body member for engaging portions of the wire mesh fencing fabric to inhibit rotational movement of the slats within corresponding channels of the chain link fence.
