How to Build a Lattice Enclosure Under Deck

1. Measure the area under the deck where you want to install the lattice enclosure.

2. Cut the lattice pieces to size using a circular saw or miter saw.

Step 2: Build the Frame

1. Build a frame using 2x4s. The frame should be the same size as the area under the deck.

2. Attach the lattice pieces to the frame using screws.

Step 3: Install the Posts

1. Measure and cut the 4x4 posts to the desired height.

2. Dig holes and set the posts in concrete.

3. Allow the concrete to dry for 24 hours.

Step 4: Attach the Lattice to the Posts

1. Attach the lattice to the posts using screws or nails.

Step 5: Finish the Lattice Enclosure

1. Paint the lattice enclosure to match the rest of the deck.

2. Add a layer of sealant to protect the lattice from the elements.

Tips:

- Choose pressure-treated wood for the frame and posts to resist rot and decay.

- Use a level when installing the frame and posts to ensure that they are straight and plumb.

- Predrill holes for the screws or nails to prevent the wood from splitting.

- Allow the sealant to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the lattice enclosure.
