I'm no expert, but every lattice brand I looked at said to drill oversize holes and use screws for hanging the lattice. This allows for expansion without cracking. I just replaced my old lattice that the previous owner just nailed up and it was cracked in many places.
Yes, my understanding also. You need special screws with over size holes. Also need matching divider strips where pieces butt together, and end strips where lattice stops, all to deal with expansion and contraction. I don't see any of this...?
The dividers and end caps make for a very professional look in my opinion. The trick is leaving a quarter inch between the lattice and the bottom of the divider channels (we figured a way but hard to explain). Also, if going the divider route, the lattice is only hung from the top. Again, this is all about expansion and cracking
Thanks! very helpful! But for a super novice like me, it would have been good to see how you installed the 2.x4 and frames into the deck that you attached the lattice to. I'll figure it out though!
Great video. You explained everything in a way I was able to understand. I will refer to this video and recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you!
Vinyl lattice panels should not be rigidly fastened to the framing. Doing this will cause them to buckle in warmer temperatures, and they don't always flatten out when they cool. Panels should be "hung" from the top using screws with washers through oversize holes. This allows them to expand and contract. When installing trim to the sides and bottom, place fasteners through the trim and into the openings in the lattice.
Thanks for the video. I have potted poles 4 x 4 for outdoor lights. I want to run a sheet of latice from one pole to another, 8 feet apart. There is no top or bottom support unless I build it. Do you think this can be done?
Can you explain more about the mesh screen under the deck surface? For keeping out bugs once you enclosed the top section, so that the room is fully secured? Great idea.
Never nail vinyl lattice.It has absolutely 100% got to be able to move with expansion and contraction. It will crack and break if it cant move.Huge,huge mistake.
So true. I watched a video like this last year when I installed ours. It's ALL broken now, 9 months later. :// Now I'm back on YT looking for the right way to do it. Sad there are so many videos giving bad advice on this subject!
The sun has probably caused that to crack. You can fasten plastic lattice without it being able to move. I’m dealing with this now on a three year old install. The sun cooked it and it didn’t have flexibility.
Can you explain this a little? I'm about to do this to my deck, but have no experience in doing so. Should you not be using all the 2x4 to keep it in place?
@@zacharywill1783 from what I understand there is a pvc trim channel that the lattace sits in and the walls of the channel are more than 1/4" to allow for expansion
Wrong. You left zero room for expansion..looks good now..come next year it'll be bowed out and look like crap this is why i don't hire diy handica..men. also supports should be every 2 feet.
The video was literally “how to” install lattice, not watch an installed lattice and someone telling you what to do. If anyone already has the skills, they aren’t the ones who needs this video.

Did you ever figure out how big to drill oversize holes trying to figure out so I can put some up
@@stevenhicks815 Just make it smaller than the screw head but bigger than the screw diameter.

Would love to see you make that access door. Is there a video for that as well?
Great work explaining. Should be enough to get it on my project

Awesome work here!
Thanks a lot!

Nice video!
QQ: Does the 2x4 framing need to be treated? Rain & rot, etc.?
What will you do when it buckles with heat/cold
Thanks a much., Video is really great and helpful....
Nicely done sir , thanks for sharing your project.

How big holes need to be oversized and do you not tighten it all way down just got some vinyl lattice trying to figure out what I need to do exactly

Thanks
Nice job! Great video and appreciate all the detail you provided 👍
Thank you, very helpful for this new DIY'er. You said you were using 1" nails on the nail gun, what gauge?
I think they were 18 gauge nails, glad it helped
Is it better to use screws or nails to attach the lattice to the 2x4 and side piece?
Great job , people don’t realize the money they save on a storage shed underneath the deck itself . 👍
Very true!
wish i had skill to do that. looks great.
You can do it!
Do you use pressure treated 2X4 for the bottom of the lattice. Won't water or poor weather make it much weaker?
This was great! Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
I need you to put mine up. Doesn't look so easy😂
Under the porch is a mosquito haven so some screen under the latticework helps with that
Just a little bit of info from an experience.
Well how does it look now? When the sun hits it it will want to expand, causing it to buckle n break
So it's best to not use support boards to attach it to?
Very helpful tjs!!

Seriously, decent video
I hang some and just want to know if you can give me a idea how to fix it
Great spot for a sprinkler head lol😂😂
Where do I get the lattice trim pieces? And Where can I go to have my lattice cut?
You can find these sheets at big box stores
Nice job.
Thanks!
You can't capture plastic lattice in cold climates. It contracts and expands.
Do you have any tips of installing Privacy lattice on the INSIDE of an existing screen in room?
Expansion my boy! It needs to be free to move a little. Sun will destroy your good work overtime.
Can you explain this a little? I'm about to do this to my deck, but have no experience in doing so. Should you not be using all the 2x4 to keep it in place?

@@MyUnquenchableThirst I am going to put 1’ tall pieces under shed so do I just screw to 2x4’s how big do holes need to be oversized I’m confused
What gauge nails did you use?
Won’t it flex when the ground freezes
no center support?
These are supposed to be able to expand and contract. This is not a proper install.
Easy peasy! Just pull out all of your general contractor tools and it’s a piece of cake 🙄
Wrong. You left zero room for expansion..looks good now..come next year it'll be bowed out and look like crap this is why i don't hire diy handica..men. also supports should be every 2 feet.
Screen underneath your deck? Reason?
To make it looked finished. and close off the space for anything that is stored underneath.

what about expansion and contraction,
