Abstract

A slat fence retainer for retaining slats in a chain-link fence includes a horizontally disposed slat-retaining element having a pair of spaced apart side walls, a base joining the bottom margin of the side walls and an open top. The element includes a vertical-slat retention means thereon. Plural, vertical slat elements are predimensioned to be received in the links in the fence. Each vertical slat element has at least one substantially planar and resilient flange at an end thereof and slots formed adjacent the end for engagement with the slat retention means to hold the vertical slat element in the fence.
