Lattice

Lattice adds privacy, airflow, and style to decks, porches, and gardens. Use lattice panels to skirt a raised deck, screen AC units and trash bins, frame outdoor showers, or support climbing plants. The crisscross pattern creates shade and ventilation while boosting curb appeal, making deck lattice a smart upgrade for DIY projects and pro builds alike.

Choose from vinyl lattice panels, wood lattice, and composite lattice screens. Vinyl resists moisture, insects, and rot, with low maintenance and color options that match trim. Cedar and redwood offer a warm, paintable or stainable surface; pressure-treated wood provides durability at a lower cost. Composite lattice combines wood fiber and polymer for long life and stable color. For modern looks, consider decorative privacy lattice with tighter openings to reduce sightlines.

Common sizes include 4x8 and 4x4 lattice panels in square or diagonal patterns. Check thickness and opening size to balance privacy, airflow, and weight. Finish edges with lattice cap and divider moulding, U-channel, or frame kits for clean lines. Pair panels with corrosion-resistant lattice screws, color-matched fasteners, and clips designed for vinyl or composite.

Planning installation? Measure carefully, frame openings plumb and square, and allow expansion gaps for vinyl and composite. Cut panels with a fine-tooth blade on a circular saw or jigsaw; support the cut to prevent chatter. Use a level, tape measure, clamps, and exterior-rated screws. For ground contact, keep wood off soil, use gravel for drainage, and seal cut ends. Pre-drill near edges to avoid cracking.

Maintain performance with gentle washing, mildew cleaner, and periodic checks for loose fasteners or sagging frames. Choose UV-stable materials for sunny exposures, and confirm wind load, fence height, and code requirements.
