I have a set of the 4Ground 15mm fences. They come with an acetate sheet of "chain link" that you cut out and glue to the post. I bought blank overhead projector sheets and made my own. Basically they are strips 1" tall. I gave them an orange fill with a gradient from bottom to top. Cut to length and glue in place. They look good (photos to follow).

Tip: print your sheets one at a time and give them plenty of drying time before handling.

P.S. If you get 7 one inch strips on a page you'll need 4 pages worth for one full set of fence posts from 4Ground…

I saw the 4Ground original chain link fence pieces at Salute. They are superb.

I think photos will help me follow what you are doing. Or maybe I need sleep?

4 Ground makes these:

The posts are laser cut, the chain link are printed overhead projector slides/acetate.

I want "force field" fences, so I built the posts (they are a kit) and printed my own slides/acetate.

Dark here so pics will have to wait, but they turned out as I wanted…
