We need privacy inserts on our fence near the pool.
It's a typical 4' high chainlink fence , with 1 1/4" spacing.
It seems exorbitant/expensive online, and neither Lowe's or the
Depot seem to carry it. Searching "fence" "inserts" or "slats"
returns nothing. I cannot understand why so many fence-supply
websites can't
simply
specify the width of the inserts!?
I suppose I could get some 2 1/2" wide pieces and slice them in
two.
I'm hesitant to order anything from a website where someone could
write (in the product description):
"Since it is made of aluminum it do not rust very good for fences
near the shore since other metal rust quick..." :-/
Nevermind.
I was adjusting one of my cheap plastic venetian blinds and, , , , ,

Those slats should work perfectly.
I was going to suggest that. Thrift shop or yard sale anyone? Or
maybe a "wanted" on freecycle.
Yeah, sounds terrific. Welcome to the ghetto. Hope you don't get
charged with manslaughter when the neighbors hang themselves in a
final fit of misanthropy.
Look on the bright side: it's far easier for the neighbors to remove the
slats in the dark of the moon than for the pool owner to gather more and
re-install them.
When the neighbors glimpse the dipees in their thongs and speedos, though,
the slats may magically re-appear.
