Enclosure to screen hot water tank

Question

This screening enclosure uses lattice to hide a hot water system alongside the side of the house.

The project

Spent a couple of weekends building a screen enclosure to hide our hot water tank.

I attached one screen to the wall and added a piece of timber to increase the width so it lines up with the post for the gate. Then I used lattice to create an enclosure.

Hi @clie,

Allow me to tag @diy_hausdesigns to see if they can advise.

It appears that something like this Lattice Makers 1800 x 900mm Hardwood Slat Screen and this Lattice Makers 2400 x 1200mm Treated Pine Lattice were used.

Hi, the screen is so neat. Is that screen diy or pre-made? Where do I buy it?
