Carport privacy slats

[Smupser]

Anyone know of an online or a local San Diego or Riverside company that sells the aluminum privacy slats that mount to carport awning posts? I’m not looking to have someone install, just sell the matierial. I got one quote for $3,300 for 41 feet X 7 feet worth, that seemed really high so looking to see if I can find something more reasonable

FYi...

All the ones I've seen at Big Bend are all bent to shit now. I'd go with shad netting (or whatever you call it) if it was me.

Trying to get more shade and privacy than the cloth offers. my carport tends to be more protected from inclement weather than a lot of other houses that have had their awnings ripped off by monsoons.

We sell slats that are 1" x 4" thin wall lattice that would work for this. We use a 1" U channel that they slide into and screw from one end. All material that is top notch powder coated. I believe I have some in white, it would come in 20' long pieces. This photo shows a backyard gate and fencing

using 4" posts with at 1" x 4" lattice attached. You can determine the distance between lattice.

They are about $85 for each 20' section. They stuff you have is painted steel or aluminum very thin to save $. Anything thin can be bend, so you need to be careful but ours will not bend from a monsoon.

Why those look very sturdy I’m looking for the thinner ones like in the pic I posted.

I just asked the forum about a source for the actual carport/awning material like you have - i got a lead to Dan Kat industries in Ontario. They have the stuff to build the carport so they probably have the privacy paneling. Kind of a trip from SD though and they’re only open on weekdays.

I gotta reach out to you about a few things.

i can make it to Ontario in just over an hour from Escondido, if they had what I needed for the right price I’d travel

I got mine from Dan Kat in Ontario. They had it them in stock, but mine were an odd length so I ordered them. I went a little more than 15 ft long, and 6 ft vertical. It was less than $700.00, but that was 2 years ago.

I’ll definitely have to check them out

Have you thought of white vinyl fencing turned 90 degrees, that could get you the same effect. Just attach it to 4x vertical posts to secure it.

Try United Carports. I just finished building mine this summer. They're based out of Riverside. I would imagine they sell the panels separately.

Here are a couple pages from their out of date 2009 online catalog which shows what you're after I believe. Their website and catalog leave a lot to be desired if you're trying to pre-plan your project, seems like you just need to go armed with all the dimensions between your posts and hope they have what you need.

DO you need these for your carport in SD or at the river? There is a place in Parker, called Desert Awning ( I think) you could give them a call, or Mobile Home Depot in Bullhead may be of help to you as well.

Definitely looking for the slats vs. panels. I have to be careful with stuff that my park allows plus I want to allow for some cross airflow

For the river house, I’m 40 minutes south of Parker so I’ll have to look them up, thanks for that

My neighbor had them install. Very pricey. But they are the only player in town. Most other installers buy from them.

I am interested in the slats as well. I would install myself.

Another place I found is Mobile Home Supply Co in San Marcos. No website, no catalog. I called and the guy he was helpful, but didn't have what I was after in stock.
