# Brown Composite Slats Vertical Installation on Black Rigid Fence

Project category: privacy-screening
Location: Écully, Rhône
Year: 2025
## Project Background Located in Écully, Rhône, this private residence sought enhanced privacy without disrupting the harmony of the garden. The project involved installing a black rigid fence complemented by straight-installed brown composite slats. The already well-maintained landscape was enhanced with a planter bordering the fence to connect the structure to the lawn and existing plantings. ## Implemented Solution The choice was made for the **Ultimate Privacy Kit® - Straight Installation Redcinha®**. This system includes solid slats colored throughout with **pre-mounted inserts** and **aluminum finishing profiles** for an advertised **95%** privacy level and minimal maintenance. The kit is compatible with panels with a **10 cm reinforcement fold** as per the manufacturer's recommendations (20 cm folds are not compatible). This choice addressed two main criteria: - aesthetic coherence: the warm brown of the slats contrasts with the black structure for a subtle appearance in a residential context; - speed and consistency of installation: pre-mounted inserts guarantee a **straight installation** without specific tools for privacy, limiting on-site intervention time. The provided **aluminum profiles** ensure a continuous and durable finish at the top and bottom of the panels. ## Execution and Result The black rigid fence was implemented linearly on a **visible base** running the length of the property. The black posts and fencing structure the whole. The privacy was achieved by inserting the vertical composite slats into the meshes, with the **pre-mounted clips** guiding each component to ensure alignment. The **aluminum finishing profiles** were installed to lock the slats in place and ensure a clean upper line. Technical detail: the slats were installed on panels compatible with **10 cm folds**, in accordance with the requirements of the **Straight Installation** kit. This compatibility constraint influenced the selection of the rigid panels and allowed for a consistent hold of the slats across the entire height. The **brushed effect** texture of the slats was oriented homogeneously for a continuous visual rendering. The final result meets the initial objective: **dense privacy** that preserves the residence's intimacy while maintaining a sober architectural reading. The brown/black contrast highlights the fence line and matches the garden; the flowering planter, mineral border, and lawn reinforce the landscape integration. The composite and aluminum components provide durability suited to residential use, with **minimal maintenance**. The entire project features consistent alignment and a uniform finish quality along its length.
