I have the following question:
We want to attach privacy slats (3 horizontal rows) to our welded wire mesh fence. The fence panels measure 1.60 x 2.50 meters (5.25 x 8.2 feet) each and are mounted on concrete.
Photos attached to show the surrounding buildings. There is a distance of 22 meters (72 feet) between the fence and an outbuilding. This is a residential area in southern Brandenburg.
Will the fence withstand the wind load if we install three standard privacy slats over about 7 panels? Or would it be better to use “wind-permeable” privacy slats?

Otherwise, it’s a very nice garden. There are also printed strips available.
