Try some roll out wooden fencing. Comes in diff styles and thickness ,as well as, diff price points. Just ziptye to existing fence.
You can buy plastic privacy slats that you sort of weave in the links. There are lots of colors to choose from.
They make slats you can weave in the chain for more privacy and a bit of color... https://www.homedepot.com/p/YARDGARD-6-ft-H-x-10-ft-W-Black-Perma-Lock-Double-Wall-Privacy-Slats-330072DBL/206684777

Paint it! The easiest solution and sometimes the most fun. Newer types of chain link come with all sorts of colors and finishes but you can make an older chain link fence look just as good. Just make sure you use rustoleum paint for added protection.
Use reed or bamboo slats. If you weave some wooden slats through the openings in a chain link fence it creates an interesting look. Many people use these chain link/wood hybrids to give their backyards a little more privacy than chain link provides alone.
Use vinyl strips – Similar to the above tip with another added benefit. Instead of just adding privacy, you can add vibrant colors and designs depending on how you weave the strips through the fence.

I like Lynn’s idea. Sounds like low cost, low labor, low maintenance. It look nice, too. ☺️
Hi, The fencing is from a landscape company called Lazarlandscape.com out of CA. But thought this would be something you could replicate. can attach spindle like wood to 6” cut 1/4 “ plywood at top and base then attach to your fence. Zip ties were just any easy suggestion can find those just about anywhere. (Walmart, truvalue, Amazon,Harbor Freight) enclosed a few other fencing photos that you can purchase at Walmart, Amazon, wayfair. Unfortunatly this is not my yarn but am considering this to hide pool filter and heater. Good Luck!
There are vinyl slats that you can go in and out of the fence. My mother had light red/white. You can buy red or white, been yrs. don't know about other colors.
