Upgrade Your Outdoor Privacy With Lattice
Keep prying eyes in their place while letting the light peek through when you add lattice fencing to your yard or patio
With summer in full swing, it's natural to want to spend more time outdoors. If you live on sprawling acreage without another person in sight, then worrying about maintaining your privacy probably isn't high on your priority list. For the rest of us, coming up with creative and aesthetically pleasing ways to keep our festivities out of the view of neighbors can be challenging. Fences and walls can create privacy, sure, but tend to block light and views, and can be prohibitively expensive. For a pretty way to keep your light, your privacy and your vacation fund, give lattice a try.
Fences and walls are great for creating privacy, but when they're tall enough to keep passersby from peeping in, they can block the light as well. Even the tallest lattice fences allow plenty of light to flow through.
Lattice is a great option for separating your yard or patio from the neighbors. It's more open than a wall or fence but still offers plenty of privacy.
Lattices can be painted or stained for additional visual interest. A deep, earthy tone like this blends well with the surroundings and keeps the lattice from standing out.
A lighter, brighter color like white can coordinate with the house and create more of an obvious "fence" look for the yard.
Teak lattice is a great low-maintenance option with a natural wood look. Simply leaving it alone allows it to weather to gray, while oiling every three months ensures that the original honey brown color stays fresh.
When a neighbor's porch is a little too close for comfort, using lattice can add privacy without making your porch feel like it's indoors. A tighter weave means more protection.
A more open lattice weave is a good way to create a sense of separation without completely blocking your line of sight. This barely there fence allows for a cool breeze and a clear view too.
