Then we shimmied the lattice wall to the very edge of the patio and lifted it up and into the holes. The centers of each hole were 4 feet apart, matching the distance between each 4×4. With the whole thing assembled, we dug 3 holes about 10 inches off of the patio. We added extra screws since they would be bearing most of the weight of the lattice panels. We slid, maneuvered, and shook the panels into place and then screwed in the bottom horizontal cap pieces. Of course we did this twice, once for each lattice panel. We measured from the inside of one vertical cap to the inside of the other to get the final width before cutting them to size with a circular saw. Since the panels and the caps both come from the store 8 feet long and we cut the 45 diagonals in the caps (therefore making them shorter), we’ll have to trim a little off 2 sides of the panel. I only work with brands I use and love.)īefore we could cut the lattice to size, we also attached 2 of the 4 shorter, horizontal pieces to the top, making sure they matched up well with the vertical caps already in place. However, all opinions are honest and 100% my own. (** This video was sponsored by BLACK+DECKER. It doesn’t stop short or sink in too deep and split the wood.

And it also helped that our drill has AutoSense technology* that screws in the screw to the perfect depth. We used deck screws since they come in a tan color that helps them blend in with the natural-colored wood. Then we marked the center of the middle 4×4 and butted the other 2 vertical caps to that, also making sure it was flush with the top.īe sure you’re going through the “meat” of the cap molding so the screw won’t interfere down the road when it’s time to insert the lattice panel. With the three 4x4s laid out, it was time to screw the lattice cap molding in place! We attached 1 piece on the outer edge of the 2 outside 4x4s making sure it was flush with the top. Make sure the angles on a single piece go in opposite directions for this type of assembly.

And then cut the remaining 2 lattice caps in half before also cutting the 45s on them. We cut 45-degree angles on both ends of 4 lattice cap pieces. So keep that in mind if you’re building a smaller version for your yard. We used 10-foot 4x4s since we’d need about 2 feet in the ground and 8 above. That way we wouldn’t be working over our heads, both literally and figuratively. Since the finished product would be 8+ feet above the ground, we built everything on the ground first. So we came up with a way to “decorate” her outdoor living space AND give her a little more privacy with 2 panels of lattice and some flower pots. And she wasn’t crazy about how open it was to her neighbor’s yard either. She really did not like her boring and uninspiring patio area.

But I LOVE the result! And it wasn’t too hard with Laura’s help and energy! You may recognize her from the Welcome to Home Ownership episode of our Today’s Homeowner TV show. I’ll admit this is the most intensive project I’ve done to date.
