Give a standard chain link fence a neat, privacy-forward look with Pexco’s PDS® Top-Lock slats. The top-locking strip threads through pre-notched holes to hold every slat straight, creating a professional, symmetrical top line. Bags are sized for predictable takeoffs (10′ coverage per bag), and HDPE construction with UV inhibitors is built for long outdoor service. For alternate locking methods or higher screening, also consider Pexco Bottom-Lock or Pexco Winged styles.
Why Choose This
- Professional finish — Top-lock channel keeps rows true across long runs

Installation
Confirm your fence is 2″ mesh. Insert slats vertically with the locking holes up. Thread the flexible top-lock channel horizontally through the notches to secure the row, keeping the channel level along the fence top. Continue section by section. One bag finishes 10′ of fence; order enough bags to cover your total run length.
Buying Guide
- How many bags? Total fence length ÷ 10 = bags needed (round up).
- Height selection: Choose slat height that matches your fence height (slats are cut 2″ shorter by design).
- Style alternatives: Prefer locking at the bottom or more screening? Compare with Bottom-Lock and Winged slats.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these fit 1-3/4″ or 2-1/4″ mesh?
- No. This model is engineered for standard 2″ chain link mesh.
- Do the bags include the locking channel?
- Yes. Each bag includes approximately 10′ of flexible top-lock channel—enough for the slats in that bag.
- How much privacy should I expect?
- About 75% visual coverage in typical 2″ mesh installations.
- What height should I order?
- Match your fence height; slats are cut 2″ shorter on purpose and the top-lock completes the height at installation.
- Are these UV-stable?
- Yes. The HDPE includes UV inhibitors to reduce fading and embrittlement over time.
