If you have a chain link fence, then you may find yourself often wishing that it also served you as a privacy fence. If a privacy fence is what you want then you'll be glad to know that you don't have to have your chain link fence removed and another fence put up. Instead, you can turn your current fence into one that will also give you privacy. The information offered here will teach you a few ways you can transform your chain link fence into one that caters to your desire for more privacy and they are all relatively inexpensive.

Attach wooden panels to the chain link fence

You can purchase wood panels that will attach directly to the chain link fence. The outcome of doing this will be what looks and acts like a wooden fence, but the chain link will be the foundation. Since you are attaching pre-made panels you can expect to pay significantly less than you would to have a real wooden fence put up around your yard. As long as you choose panels with boards that are situated tightly next to one another you can keep those outside of your yard from being able to see right into your yard.

Install a bamboo fence roll along the chain link fence

You can purchase a bamboo fence roll that you can install along the chain link to add privacy as well as a fantastic natural look. You also have options available to you when it comes to the look of the bamboo fence roll you go with. You can get one that has round bamboo or you can go with a roll that has flattened bamboo. Along with giving you the added privacy you want these rolls can also add to landscaping that has an Asian inspired theme to it.

Install vinyl slats through the linkage of the chain link fence

There are several reasons for going with vinyl slats when you want to add privacy to your chain link fence. Along with being considered to be one of the more affordable options, they also come in a large selection of colors and they are extreme easy for you to install on one of your days off. Also, you can easily remove them in the future should you decide that you would like to go back to your traditional chain link fence look once again.
