Abstract: A slat fence retainer for retaining slats in a chain-link fence includes a horizontally disposed slat-retaining element having a pair of spaced apart side walls, a base joining the bottom margin of the side walls and an open top. The element includes a vertical-slat retention means thereon. Plural, vertical slat elements are predimensioned to be received in the links in the fence. Each vertical slat element has at least one substantially planar and resilient flange at an end thereof and slots formed adjacent the end for engagement with the slat retention means to hold the vertical slat element in the fence.

Abstract: A slat assembly for insertion in a chain link fence includes a plurality of elongate, first slat members which are interwoven between vertically consecutive links of the fence. The first slat members rest on a second slat member which is interwoven between horizontally consecutive lower links in the fence. A flexible retainer is constructed and arranged to be received in apertures formed in the first slat members. The retainer has terminating means located at the ends thereof for securing the retainer to the slats.
