Installation Tips
Install lattice panels inside a frame made from 1x2 or 1x4 lumber for a clean finished look. Leave a 1/4-inch gap at the bottom to prevent ground moisture contact. Use stainless steel staples or screws to secure panels to the frame. Pre-paint or stain wood lattice before installation for complete coverage.
