Layout your frame 1 4 pine pieces cut to size place your lattice on top and then add 1 4 s again on top of your lattice. Cut the lattice to size with a circular saw. Creating a lattice panel you are essentially going to sandwich the lattice screen between your frame creating a lattice panel. This is why lattice fence is a perfect fit for plant lovers and people looking to build a verdant lively look.

When it s done you will enjoy a comfortable space outdoors rain or shine. You should be able to use.

Whereas other fence options can be quite labor and time intensive lattice can be a fast and pain free installation process. You will basically be cutting 2 pieces of 1 4 s for each side. Be sure to drill clearance holes slightly larger than the screw shanks so the lattice can expand and contract. Making panels 48 inches or less will allow you to get two out of each 4 by 8 foot sheet.

The roof s construction is determined much by its underneath support space it bridges and weather whether a roof is pitched or not. Then mark the panel width and height on the lattice. Lattice shows staples on the back so first decide how you want to orient the outward facing strips horizontally or vertically. Prior to starting your project take notice of your current patio cover components.
