ᐅ Double wire mesh fence – privacy slats possible. What about wind load?

Hello everyone,
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?

A fence should be able to blend into the background when it’s not really needed. Why anyone feels the need for privacy screening here, you’ll have to explain to me, @Gretel1990
I disagree. Our worksite building is partially fenced with privacy slats at a height of 180 cm (6 feet). After three years, the edges are quite worn out. There are gaps at the posts, some frayed edges, and we constantly have to fix slats that have come loose due to the wind.
By the way: they are terrible. Even worse with photo prints. The photo you have in real life needs no additional decoration.
