If you're planning on installing a wood fence but you want something a little different, take a look at wood lattice fencing panels. These have crossed slats with gaps of various sizes, depending on your preferences, and they can be used in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas for using wood lattice fencing panels.

As A Screen For The Bottom Of Your Deck

You may not like the underside of your deck to be open if you use it for storing your lawn mower or other outdoor equipment. Plus, you may want to keep your dog from getting under the deck. Lattice fencing would be a good solution since it would allow ventilation while creating a barrier. Plus, the latticework would be an attractive addition to your deck.

As A Trellis

A nice thing about lattice fence panels is that they are fairly lightweight, so you can easily put the panels where you want them. You might want a fence in your garden to use as a trellis for climbing vegetables or flowers. You could place a single panel on posts in an area where you want some color and beauty and train flowers to grow up the slats. A wood lattice panel is a perfect trellis since plants and flowers can grow up it easily, and the trellis is a pretty addition to a garden or flower bed.

When You Want A Little Privacy

If you want some privacy on your patio, you could buy privacy lattice panels. These are made the same as traditional lattice except the spaces between the slats are tighter so they provide better privacy from a distance. The spaces allow air to flow through so you can still get a breeze on your patio, but they keep nosy neighbors from watching you.

To Make A Decorative Fence

You can combine wood lattice fencing with regular fence panels to create a unique fence that lets breezes in your yard. For instance, you could buy small panels and put them on top of your wood fence as a decorative topper when you want something besides the traditional stockade or dog-ear look. The lattice adds several inches of height to the fence and gives it an attractive appearance.

If you're artsy and skilled at woodworking, you can even combine sections of wood lattice fencing panels with solid fence panels to make a fence that's solid on the bottom and that has an open lattice on the top. You can buy wood lattice panels made from the same wood as traditional wood fencing, so it's easy to blend the two panels together.
