FRAMED LATTICE FENCE
We love this look. It’s a mixture of country and modern.
You can train a flowering vineto grow up the lattice and create even more privacy.
This build will take at least two days. Digging the post holes, setting the posts, and pouring the concrete for the posts can be completed on day one. But you’ll want to wait overnight for the concrete to set up before building the fence panels. Before building your fence, be sure to research your local building codes; know if you have to meet any setback limits, and find out if you have any restrictive covenants for your neighbourhood.
To create the tall privacy fence, we used one 1.2 x 2.4m lattice sheet vertically between the posts. Therefore, our posts were 1.2m apart.
After your 6×6 fence posts are set in the ground, you can start building your lattice fence sections between the posts.
Measure and cut two 2×6 pieces of pressure treated lumber to fit between the top and bottom of the posts. Level and secure to the 6×6 posts using exterior grade wood screws.
Centre your 1.2 x 2.4m lattice panel in the centre of the 6×6 posts. Cut 2×2 lumber to create a frame to support the lattice.
Secure the 2×2 frame to the inside of the 6×6 posts and the 2×6 horizontal lumber. You can use wood screws or 2″ finish nails to secure the 2×2 frame. Add another 2×2 frame to the other side of your lattice.
Add post caps to the top of your fence to protect the posts from rot (and to make your fence look complete.)
Repeat the steps above to create as many window pane lattice fence sections as you desire.
