A lattice is a versatile backyard item; and since it’s freestanding,
it can be placed just about anywhere. It is an easy and beautiful
way to hide unsightly outdoor items like air conditioners and outlet
boxes. It looks great placed up against a garden wall or the side
of a home. The criss cross design makes it perfect for growing ivy
or beautiful flowering vines like wisteria or hyacinth and the best
part is that the plants will flourish without much work on your part.
Or try putting several screens together as a way to divide your yard
or create a fenced off area.
Choose from metal, vinyl, or wood. Each material has great qualities.
Metal, such as wrought iron, is excellent because it is durable and
lasts for years. Vinyl won’t fade from sun exposure. Wood looks
the most natural in a backyard setting and cedar in particular is
naturally mildew and mold resistant which makes it perfect for outdoors.
Over time the wood will change to a silvery color which many people
find very attractive. However, if you wish to maintain that rich cedar
color then be sure to use a sealant prior to growing plants on it.
Use it in a yard, garden, poolside or around a deck. If your yard
doesn’t have many trees or bushes and you long for some privacy
then this is the easiest way to achieve it. Instead of building a
large, expensive fence that requires a lot of installation time; try
a lattice screen. All you need to do is stick it in the ground. It’s
that easy!
It’s easy to install and pretty much maintenance free. The
only maintenance will be pruning the plants that grow on it. Keep
in mind when you are placing your lattice that most vines require
a lot of sunlight so place it in a place where the sun hits often
so that your plants can flourish.
A lattice is a great way to create privacy, section off an area of
your backyard or simply grow beautiful flowering plants. It’s
affordable, maintenance free and easy to install.
It’s a great way to accentuate your yard and make it even more
beautiful.
