I agree that this looks much better. Probably easier than trying to custom cut a piece of awkward lattice! Next summer, I'm gonna remove the broken and weathered lattice and do this!
I personally like the look of lattice but I was raised by my great grandparents that had an old Antebellum Mississippi Delta mixed with Victorian London style to their decorating, so my taste is obviously outdated even though I just turned 30. For a modern aesthetic, what you did looks great and is very practical.
Nice👍 I had to build 100 plus foot of lattice to match a historic house lattice once. Took two of us to build in shop a week. Another week to install. The original was maple !! We used poplar one inch thick by two inch wide slats not nominal size actual size. Then battens between sections.
That sounds very involved but I’m sure it turned out great. Honestly if you’re using a wood like maple or cedar almost anything can look pretty sweet 👍 thanks for the comment!
My late neighbor was a home improvement guy and an excellent carpenter. He absolutely hated lattice and usually made something else as you did. I believe he would have loved your idea.
Looks good, but it had to cost more. And treated wood, although should last longer by not being against the ground, will also rot in time. Plastic lattice should last almost forever if it doesn’t crack. White would probably get that dingy, dirty look, but a darker color would look better. As far as wood lattice, I had 2 pieces to make a privacy fence and it’s still good after 20 years. The bottom of the treated posts rotted out and when we redid it we used treated pickets for a different look. If you’re cutting lattice, put a piece of styrofoam under it on the garage floor or even the deck. Set your saw depth to just a little more than the lattice thickness and cut away. Works great on plywood too.
Appreciate it! The pressure treated “green” was definitely pretty prominent on these boards though - so that was a bit unfortunate. Should fade over time though.
Does this stick out past the over hang of the deck boards? I feel like that would be annoying. I think I’d like to try and incorporate something like this under the rim joist instead of over top of it? On my deck the rim joists are saddled on the sides of the 4x4 not flush on top.
I would just add a few more intermediate vertical braces (at different heights to match to the slope) and then add a board between braces whenever the gap increases too much. I hope that makes sense. But it’s definitely a bit more complicated for a sloped application.
Thanks! Ya, it makes sense. I just have a hard time envisioning it all and mine would likely be in Trex and would hate to waste the money for it to look bad.
Haha yea I should probably just clean out all that lumber and leave it open BUT one day (probably 2036) that scrap piece of lumber under the deck that I saved will be “perfect” for some project 🤣
UA-cam! I started by renovating bathrooms, a kitchen, a basement, etc. so this little project was a breeze! Definitely a good starter project for someone looking to learn how to use basic power tools ⚒️
That's [erfect. {[=p}! I never liked lattice vertical or horizontal screens like yours always the nicest look. Congratulations and I bet it was cheaper too [or did you say that already?]. Have a great day.
Well done lattice not only looks good but also easy. The vinyl white also doesn’t require additional painting. Also when using a cover behind a deck you need to deal with ground slope which is straight forward with lattice.

Glad you didn't keep the lattice. Those boards were well done!
I like this. It looks mu better than lattice. My fav pattern is the one you used on your steps.
Awesome build, Andrew! Another great video!
Appreciate it!!

I appreciate that! It’s simple, but I think it’s definitely an improvement 👍

Looks a whole lot nicer than the lattice!👍🏻
Love it👍

Love your style Adrew!
Appreciate it, Lucy!

Lattice seems to be stupid expensive now days too.
Yea I was shocked that the wooden options was over $40..
Another nice project done really well.
Appreciate it! It’s a simple one for sure but figured I’d share what I’m doing in case someone else likes the design.
Nice like always, I would like to know what's the name of the software you use to make the plan
I use the free version of Sketchup!
Nicely done - I think it looks great.
Appreciate it!! Thanks for the support 👍💪
Let’s go new Andrew Thron vid
Haha appreciate it! This is a pretty simple one but I have some big stuff in the works 👍
Neat idea!
Appreciate it! Super simple 👍
🌴🌴🌴 You always share amazing projects and that’s why I love your channel. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Appreciate it, Carlos!
This looks great. Can't wait to see it after it's stained.
Appreciate it, Shana!
Looks great and is cost effective, Lattice looks tacky.
What about if the deck is on a slope, and it's a foot different in the front/back?
I would just add a few more intermediate vertical braces (at different heights to match to the slope) and then add a board between braces whenever the gap increases too much. I hope that makes sense. But it’s definitely a bit more complicated for a sloped application.

I like how it looks but I also like lattice
Unless you want to try to hide stuff 😊

How did you learn to do all.of this?
UA-cam! I started by renovating bathrooms, a kitchen, a basement, etc. so this little project was a breeze! Definitely a good starter project for someone looking to learn how to use basic power tools ⚒️
@AndrewThronImprovements Any UA-cam Channel in particular? I did my upstairs bathroom. Boy did i learn a lot, especially of what not to do..
Thought you were going to do a cost breakdown?
It’s in the blog! First link in bio. I crunched the numbers after editing the video
@@AndrewThronImprovements Whoops, must have missed that. Thanks.
How much more maintainence is involved in three years? I agree it looks better but at 65 years old I want less work!
That's [erfect. {[=p}! I never liked lattice vertical or horizontal screens like yours always the nicest look. Congratulations and I bet it was cheaper too [or did you say that already?]. Have a great day.

that poor window is now all alone in the dark 😢
It look lots better than lattice.
But I diffintly think stain the screen.
Agreed - lot’s of pressure treated “green” on those boards
Vertical lattice looks better.
Great look! Build yourself a saw table! Just sayin.
Thanks! And I need a miter station so badly 😅
Thron 2028 🎉
😂🙏👍
YOU HAVE NO CLASS. LUMBERYARDS EVERYWHERE SELL LATTICE TO THE BUYERS DELIGHT. GAWD!! HOW NASTY YOU JUST PROVED YOURSELF. 🤣😂💀😵💫🙄
If lattice sucks, then decks suck even more. Even the nicest decks still looks like shyte. Avoid decks at all cost.
Pavers are definitely the move but sometimes a deck is a necessary evil haha
