As a home or business owner it is often necessary to install a privacy fence. There are several types of plastic privacy fence options to choose from. Each option has its own level of privacy, style and expense. There are three main options to choose from in plastic privacy fencing: plastic slats, plastic fiber knit and plastic sheerline. Each style of privacy fence has pros and cons, based on how it will be used.
Plastic slat
An effective and popular style of plastic privacy fence is the plastic slat fence. This fencing option makes use of plastic slats that are woven into a chain link fence to create a limited amount of privacy. There are several styles of slat fencing to choose from. Threaded slats are the most popular style of privacy fence and come in several styles. This type of fence offers a moderate to high level of privacy. Top lock and bottom lock styles keep the slats from falling out over time by using a locking row at either the top or the bottom of the fence. Plastic slat fences typically have a large variety of colors to choose from. This style of fencing allows a moderate level of privacy and lasts for a very long time.
Plastic fiber knit
Plastic fiber knit is a good option for privacy and is great for temporary projects such as construction. Fiber knit can be applied to a preexisting chain link fence or it can be attached to temporary fencing. Woven privacy fences offer a very high amount of privacy and are very economical. Most products are unsightly and are recommended for use with industrial and commercial projects. The knits can come in a variety of colors and sizes and can have imprints of logos and advertisements printed on them. This style can be heavily modified to fit most any type of project
Sheerline
Sheerline fencing can be installed for the highest amount of privacy. Sheerline fencing uses plastic beams and cross hatching to construct an entire fence that is made from plastic. Sheerline fences come in several styles that allow for a large amount of customization. These fences often provide a very strong amount of both privacy and security. However, the colors that are typically provided are quite limited and this style of privacy fence can be one of the more costly and difficult to install.
