![]() This method offers a clean finished look along the tiered sheets. You’ll notice in the picture above that the U-channel is used along the top of each lattice sheet as well. You can either screw through the channel and lattice to the post/railing or just screw through the channel to the post/railing within the framed area. The trick to using the channel with the lattice sheet in a framed space is to put the channel on the lattice sheet and then screw through the channel to the railing and post. We would suggest that you use the u-channel to attach the lattice sheet to the railing and post. The installation method for either of these options can vary.Īs you can see in the photo above, the deck railing post can be extended to support the lattice. If you don’t have a railing on your deck, you can build a privacy fence along the deck in the desired area. If you already have a rail on your deck, you can add a privacy screen to the top of the railing. Our next installation example is for adding Privacy to your deck. The lattice sheets are supported by the frame sections that are attached to the deck post. This type of installation does not need u-channel. The picture above shows the lattice framed and installed on the front side of the post. You will also need to secure the lattice sheet on the front of the post. Screw or nail through the channel to attach it to the deck boards. The channel also offers a capped look to the lattice sheet. The u-channel will help guide the lattice along the deck boards. The picture above shows the lattice on the front of the post with the use of the u-channel along the top of the lattice sheet. Don’t be overwhelmed with all the options. No need to predrill oversized holes for our lattice. You can either screw or nail through the lattice sheet to a support. ![]() You can put the lattice on the front of the support post, you can frame the lattice sheet and install on the front of the support post, use a u-channel or install the lattice without a u-channel. Ok, now on to the first installation example.ĭeck skirting has 4 common ways you can install the lattice. This will prevent the blade from chopping through the lattice sheet. ![]() Two when cutting our lattice with a circular saw, reverse the blade. This will prevent rust stains on your lattice. One use stainless steel nails or screws to secure your lattice sheets. If you have questions, please call us! Since Permalatt’s lattice can be used for so many projects there can be more than one way for installation.īefore we get into each project type we have a couple of suggestions. Please remember, you have options for your lattice installation. We’re going to share a few of our installation suggestions as well as ways our customers have installed our lattice in their projects. It seems the next topic is how to cut lattice. Jaes.When you Google lattice installation you may notice the first topic is lattice skirting. these and any other tips when working with this vinyl lattice paneling would be aprreciated. Please be specific with your tips -you know that it's a 4x8 panel - so, please, suggest the spacing of holes/attaching screws. Yes, I will drill oversized hole- and I will mount on top-But I need some tips as to how to mount in middle and sides of the pannel without having it buckle during changes in season. WELL, we all know it's more complicated than that. Now, from reading the over-simpified overly-short, manufacture's instructions, I should drill 4, 5, or 6 oversized holes, put screws through the lattice and let the lattice panel hang from the top of my built frame ("top mounting"). HERE'S what I am going to do: I am going to build a treated lumber frame large enough to direct mount a 4X8 panel of vinyl lattice (lattice will be 8' high and 4' wide for roses to climb). I also phoned the manufacture to get more detailed info- they simply repeated what was in their written instructions. FIRST, you should know that I already have gone to the manufactures website and printed off their instillation instructions (it really doesn't tell much except (for direct mounting) one should "mount from top" -and "drill the holes larger" than the mounting screw/nail for expansion. So, before I start building 3 more trellis for climbing roses this Summer, I want to get suggestions from this forum. HOWEVER, on a number of projects, it has cracked (I did something wrong). I've used the 4'x8' vinyl lattice for triming out the bottom/outside of porches-I've also built a trellis frame and attached a 4X8 panel of vinyl lattice for climbing roses -90% of the time, the paneling has made it through several seasons (cold and hot) without cracking and/or buckeling.
