Well, there\u2019s a plant for that.<\/p>\n<p>So when vining weeds growing on my neighbor\u2019s side of the fence kept poking through the panels, flowering, and scattering their seeds everywhere, I had to do something to stop the madness.<\/p>\n<p>My planty solution was to build a lattice trellis along the fence and grow some handsome climbing vines. Not only should this do the trick and block encroaching weeds, it will create a beautiful living wall that I\u2019ll enjoy for many years to come.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-concept\">The Concept<\/h2>\n<p>I wanted the lattice trellis to look good and last a long time, but also be super simple to build.<\/p>\n<p>Looking around the internet for tutorials that matched my vision had me coming up empty. I didn\u2019t want a freestanding trellis with concrete footings, or decorative add-ons like cap molding, or for the project to require specialized tools. The overly complex builds just wouldn\u2019t do \u2013 and besides, this lattice will be covered in vining plants anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve landed on a design that\u2019s easy to make. The basic idea is to affix the lattice to the fence on top three horizontal lengths of strapping lumber. The wood strips will make sure the structure is sturdy while also keeping the lattice 1.5 inches off the fence. With this bit of space, the twining plants can grow over and under the slats of lattice.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a two-person job that takes an afternoon to put together, and only cost me about $50 in materials.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials and Tools:<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"943\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='943'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20943'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20416 perfmatters-lazy\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-720x566.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-735x578.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-335x263.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-347x273.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-520x409.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-640x503.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-960x754.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-1080x849.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2-Materials-Tools-150x118.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

In my case, the fence is shorter than the panels so the height of each one will need to be cut to size.<\/p>\n<p>Wood lattice is a pretty flimsy material so take care when sawing. I used a keyhole saw to lower the chances of the slats cracking and breaking as they are cut. Placing the lattice face up (with the heads of the staples on top) will make sawing by hand go a bit more smoothly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='800'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%20800'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20422 perfmatters-lazy\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-347x231.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-520x347.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ruralsprout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8-Sawing-the-lattice-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Because the strapping is to be 6-inches shorter than the lattice on each side, the lumber will need to be cut to 7-foot lengths.
