- Create an enchanting area by adding an arched lattice gate. Arched gates are intriguing on their own, but when you add a latticed quality to them, you’re creating something truly special.
- Go traditional and create a tall lattice fencing with smaller grids. It’ll make for a truly rustic looking fence that’s the perfect way to enclose a small cottage backyard. Trim it with white flowers all around for that extra aesthetic.
- Divide the spaces in your backyard by installing random rectangular lattice fence frames. The beautiful thing about lattice fences is that they create smaller niches without hiding view lines.
- To add personality to plain privacy fences, add segment of lattice slabs with smaller grid openings to allow vines to climb on. Eventually, these lattice slabs will turn into segments of vine slabs that will create a unique design.

- One unique way to fence a backyard with a pool is to use a diagonal lattice fence to surround the perimeter. For an added aesthetic, make sure the tops of the fences are arched for an extra dramatic effect.

- There’s never anything wrong with using lattice fencing the traditional way. With smaller slats, you can spice up a traditional fence by adding unique plants and flowers to outline your fence perimeter.

- Take some scalloped lattice panels and stand them up against an edge or a wall for purely decorative purposes. The results can be visually stunning, especially if you accent it with some light greenery.
- Extend an existing fence by propping up a taller lattice fence just in front of it. Leave gaps in between the height to add a little bit of interesting dimension to the design.

- Create a rough unfinished lattice look to get the rustic feel. You can use unfinished wood, and also leave the tops of the fences completely unfinished. This is a great option for a garden area.
- Use a staggered lattice fence to accommodate for areas that are on a slope. Use this especially if there’s a nice view to be seen just outside of the fence.
