A chain link fence and a method of manufacturing an improved selvage therefore that provides no exposed ends of wires. The chain link fence of the present invention is manufactured from a plurality of wires coupled in a woven format so as to form loops. The chain link fence includes slats woven through the plurality of loops so as to provide privacy subsequent installation. The chain link fence manufacturing method provides for an improved selvage at the top and bottom thereof wherein the selvage has no exposed ends and as such eliminating the deficiencies of traditional selvages. The method of the present invention includes providing a plurality of bends to the exposed ends of the wire comprising the chain link fence. The plurality of bends culminates in the formation of a novel selvage that has the exposed ends of the wire penetrating into the body of the plurality of slats.

A portable acoustical blocking system is disclosed for use with a support comprising a sheet of acoustical blocking material bound by material edge. A reinforcing tape is affixed to the sheet of acoustical blocking material adjacent to the material edge. A plurality of hangers are secured to the sheet of acoustical blocking material and extending through the reinforcing tape and the sheet of acoustical blocking material for hanging the sheet of acoustical blocking material from the support for inhibiting the flow of acoustic energy between the first and second sides of the acoustical blocking material.

An interlocking plastic fence panel system is described herein that improves the appearance, provides privacy and acts as a wind screen for preexisting chain link fencing. The complementary edges of the panels allow two adjacent panels to be positively joined such that displacement of the panels away from one another is prevented. The interlocking panels are attached with fasteners and can positioned vertically, horizontally, diagonally or any varying angel in between. A decorative texture and or printing can be applied to the surface to enhance the appearance. For example, wood grain texture and printed imagery or advertisements.

A dual-winged slat having a rectangular body further possesses a straight fin and an angled fin on each edge of the body with the free end of the angled fin being angled toward the face of the body which is farther from the place of attachment of the angled fin to the edge. The free end of each straight fin must be closer to the face of the body nearer where the first end of the straight fin is attached to the edge than is the free end of the angled fin on the same edge. No fin may be attached to the edge of the slat more than halfway to the face toward which the angled fin is directed. The fins are preferably asymmetrically arranged. And, also preferable, the straight fin and the angled fin attached to a given edge are attached at the same place.
