How much does it cost to install privacy slats?

Privacy slats transform rigid mesh fencing into a screening solution. The budget depends on the material, the length of the fence, and the height of the panels. Here is an overview of the current rates to help you estimate your project with Districlos.

Factors affecting the final cost

Several elements influence the final price: the height of the panels, the mesh width, and the material. Naturally, a kit for a 2.50-meter panel costs more than a standard 2-meter format.

Also, pay attention to compatibility with your current fence. Some models require additional fasteners.

PVC slats

PVC is the most common option. Expect to pay between €40 and €90 to cover a standard panel, depending on the thickness of the plastic and the color (often anthracite gray, green, or wood effect). It is an affordable material that is weather-resistant and requires no maintenance.

Wood or composite slats

Wood (often pressure-treated pine or spruce) costs between €80 and €150 per panel. Composite falls within the same price range, with one advantage: it does not turn gray over time.

Ensure you have well-anchored and sturdy posts. These materials are heavy and create significant wind resistance.

Installation costs

Sliding slats into a rigid mesh fence remains within the reach of beginners. Doing it yourself avoids increasing the bill.

If you prefer to delegate to a professional or a landscaper, installation costs between €15 and €30 per linear meter. This rate fluctuates depending on site access and the type of slats.

Additional costs

Allow a small margin for finishing touches:

  • Clips and profiles (to be placed at the top and bottom of the panel).
  • A spray paint can, very practical for matching the color of old posts to the new slats.
  • Delivery. Costs can rise quickly for these very bulky products.

Buying in kits to limit costs

Buying complete privacy kits is cheaper than purchasing each piece individually. They include vertical slats, horizontal reinforcements (V-strips), and locking systems.

Districlos keeps these items in stock at all times to avoid waiting periods. Simply take the time to measure the perimeter of your fencing before ordering to buy the correct quantity.
