Lattice

Post image

I wanna put some kind of cheap and quick gate here made of lattice. Not wanting to bother with building a proper gate I'm not experience enough anyways. I was thinking of just attaching some little henges to one side of some plastic lattice and attaching to the wood beam? Then put a latch on the upper right portions. Would this be alright or any better ideas that are simple/easy for an inexperienced person?

A simple panel that opens to the side will prob drag and be messy. Plus there’s no good way to add the hinges to the lattice panel. But you could add two or three hooks to the bottom deck ‘skirt’ and hang a piece of lattice at same height as the other lattice.

Yeah the first idea we heard was to do hooks I just don't like the idea of taking it on and off all the time. If I reenforced the lattice with a small piece of 2x2 at the henges would that keep it off the ground you think?

Maybe 2x2 will be enough. I think hinges have weight ratings so get some heavy enough to hold the weight and size of your panel

cut a piece of lattice and just hang it from 2 or 3 nails. Drive the nails so about 1 inch sticks out and just hang the lattice from the nails. Easy peasy and you can remove the lattice even if there's a bunch of cr@p in front of it. Or there are screw-in hangers - Stanley 75-2900.
