Chain Link
metal slats fences
Most all solid metal fences are built out of the aluminum sheeting. This sheeting is nice because it does not rust and provides a solid barrier to keep pets in and wild life out. The solid metal aluminum sheeting can be either affixed to the posts with welds or bolted on, depending upon your specific skill level. Bolting the sheets on can make it easier to remove and replace the sheets if needed. Welding the sheets on makes for a more solid structure that can be very difficult to remove or replace.

Metal slats
-
A slat for use with a chain-link fence of the type having a plurality of interlocking flattened helical wire strands each defining a vertical channel of generally rectangular cross-section, said slat being dimensioned for tight-fitting retention within one of said channels, said slat comprising a planar portion of width substantially equal to the wide dimension of said channel and at least one leg extending generally perpendicular to said planar portion, the combined length of said leg and the thickness of said planar portion being substantially equal to the narrow dimension of said channel.
Some description about metals slats

Chain link fences are widely used to provide a secure enclosure of low cost and good durability. Such fences are formed of flattened helical wire strands interlocked to form a wide mesh wire fabric supported at spaced intervals by upright tubular members. Such chain link fences are useful for marking property lines, restraining animals, providing backyard security for children, and the like.
For some purposes, the ability to see through the fence is beneficial. On the other hand, for certain applications, the unobstructed visibility through a chain link fence is distinctly disadvantageous. Thus, when privacy is desired, or where a wind break is needed, the chain link fence by itself is unsatisfactory. Similarly, in highway construction where a chain link fence is used on the divider island between traffic in opposite directions, it is important to block visibility through the fence.
The chain link fence may be provided with slats to cover the openings and provide obstructed visibility. Optimally, such slats should be attractive, low in cost, durable, and should not rattle or become loose under vibration conditions such as those encountered in highway divider applications.
