Bamboo Fence Panels
Bamboo is another natural, sustainable material that can readily be attached to a chain link fence to provide privacy. Bamboo poles are typically wider than reeds and there’s more space between them, so the privacy isn’t complete. But bamboo makes up for it with durablity.
The Natural Bamboo Fencing by Backyard X-Scapes consists of entire poles, not the split ones found on other bamboo products. This makes for a sturdier fence cover that looks as good from one side as it does from the other. Panels are six feet high and eight feet wide, attachable with zip ties.

Wood Fence Panels
Covering a chain link fence with these essentially makes it a wood fence. Doing this with prefabricated panels is easier and less expensive than attaching individual slats.
These six-foot by eight-foot dog-eared Cedar Fence Panels offer complete privacy. And because they’re cedar, they’ll last a long time whether or not you finish them. Secure the panels to the posts and rails with U-bolts.

Vinyl Fence Panels
Like wood ones, vinyl fence panels offer complete privacy, and they’re easy to install. They also last longer than wood, but tend to be more expensive.
The Freedom Brighton Fence Panels available at Lowe’s cost about the same as wood. But they come in six-foot lengths rather than eight-foot, so you’ll need more of them.
If aesthetics is your main concern, you may not mind paying extra. Unlike wood, vinyl panels won’t turn gray in the sun. They just need occasional washing to keep them looking like new.
