lattice Screen assistance

Hi, I’m seeking advice as to how I possibly could fill in with plastic lattice between 3 carport wooden posts, or any other suggestions.

The gap between each section is 3000 x 2400. I would preferably like it in the colour of white or off white.

the attached photo is the area that I’m seeking to fill in

Re: lattice Screen assistance

Hi @Garrygaz,

 

Yes, that is correct, sorry I should have been clearer. You would end up needing 4 x 3m lengths of timber and 4 x 2.4m lengths of timber.

 

You could use the two outside posts as anchor points, but due to the 1220mm width of the lattice, the centre post could not be used, so you would need to add an extra upright on either side of the central post and adjust the other uprights accordingly.

 

I've just realised that this would also mean the top and bottom rails would need to attach to the inside of the posts; they could not be face fixed if you want everything to line up. So, you could either use angle brackets or joist hangers to attach the rails to the posts, or attach an additional piece of timber to the front face of the posts so that the frames could be attached in line with the rest of the frame.

Re: lattice Screen assistance

Once again thank you @JacobZ 

@in relation to the uprights I was more thinking of drilling holes in the horizontal and then use screws to attach them however the joist hangers could be a better option

cheers
