DIY Wooden Privacy Lattice

Add more wonder to your backyard.

Your backyard is your sanctuary. Want to create even more privacy within your kingdom? Build a DIY Wooden Privacy Lattice. A wooden privacy lattice, which is perfect as a decorative touch to separate a small garden or as a divider for outdoor patio spaces, can spruce up any backyard.

This eight-foot tall DIY wooden lattice can be started and finished in an afternoon. It just requires cross-cutting boards, building a stable frame in a few easy steps and then attaching the slats to the frame in a stylish pattern.

To safeguard your charming new DIY Wooden Privacy Lattice, apply a light sanding and a protective finish. Then let the admiration and backyard enjoyment begin.

 

Important reminders before you get started:

If you choose to stain and seal your new Wooden Privacy Lattice, we recommend YellaWood Protector® semi-transparent stain and water repellent wood sealer for long-lasting beauty and protection.

Before you get started, please read our info on safety, fasteners and building tips.
