How to install lattice on a deck is one of the six steps.
A deck is a great addition to a home.A deck is above the world.When you view the deck from the ground level, you can see the large open area below the floorboards.lattice is a simple solution to mask this area and give the deck a clean, unified look.You can install plastic or wood lattice in an hour or two.
Both plastic and wood are available for lattice.You can cover a deck up to that height with a single piece of lattice, add more lattice for higher decks, or cut down the lattice on the lower deck.
The deck has a few attachment points for lattice.The lattice can be fastened to the rim joist or beam.It can be attached to the posts on the sides.Installation of a two-by-four stringer from post to post is required because horizontal support is needed for the bottom.
8-foot lengths of plastic lattice are 4 feet high.Both diamond and square styles are available.While white lattice is often in stock at many home centers, a few other colors such as black, green, gray, or brown are available by special order.
When cut, the plastic lattice holds together well.vinyl's water-resistant nature reduces maintenance because the lower area of decks is often in contact with vegetation.
Wood lattice has more style choices than plastic lattice.It can't be stained.It is possible to paint plastic lattice.You lose the benefit of plastic's baked-in color by painting it.Since plastic lattice can't be painted, the solution is to clean it.
The factory usually builds wood lattice from cedar or another hardy species of wood.The wood lattice is 4 feet high.
You can control the style with wood lattice.The wood can be stained, painted, or left to weather on its own.Wood doesn't bend as much as plastic lattice.
Maintenance for wood lattice can be done by applying more protective coating.The wood lattice slats can become detached when you cut them.
A permit is required to build a deck in many areas.You should always check with your building department for confirmation if you don't need a permit to install lattice on a deck.
When fastening plastic or wood lattice to a deck, wear eye and hearing protection.
Measure the inside distance between the deck posts with the tape measure.The measurement should be transferred to the two-by-four.The two-by-four can be cut with a circular saw.
Attach the L-angles to the deck posts with a drill.The L-angles should be back by 1 1/2 inches.The L-angles should be kept as low as possible, but not so low that they interfere with deck piers or the ground.
