Just looked at the date on this. Could not find this project on Lowes website. Hoped there were instructions that weren’t on the video. Maybe they’ve changed brands?
Patty Martin you could build a frame to support it. Use an h-channel to cap it and attach to post every 4’. If you’re skirting a deck, the bottom edge is usually attached to the bottom rail of the framing which is generally 2x3 or 2x4 running horizontally 1”-2” off the ground in case you have soil and gravel. The bottom rail is attached to a 2x4 acting like a stud, dropped down vertically from a rim joist. I’m not sure what is your project but hopefully my general assumption over fence and deck lattice use give you some insights.
A. Hitchcock i know this is 3yrs late but for others that wonder the same thing, I used a jigsaw. It has to be a carbide tip for smoother cut. It’s actually safer than a circ saw since it won’t bounce around too much. An oscillator work just as good. It does not have to be 100% straight since the perimeter of a lattice is generally covered like a picture frame for a professional look. Make sure you leave a quarter inch gap around perimeter for expansion. I placed two pieces of woods underneath and some weighs to hold it on top and cut where needed. A circ saw would make too much debris and you have to set the depth of the blade and all that jargon.
How would you attach one of these with molding perpendicular to a wall with a post on the other side of the wall?
How do you place the top moulding on if there is a screw already through the lattice?
If you have carpentor BEES, add aluminum "flashing" to cover the bare wood before adding the lattace.
If they were truly "Carpenter Bees" then, why can't we just give them the tools to build it?
This video reminds me of the training tapes from McDonald's 20 years ago.
Agree which McDonalds?

Thank you 🙏
I know this is an older video but hoping someone will know. How to I add an edge piece to the bottom edge if there is nothing behind it to attach to?

0:48 should've painted the posts white
It’s easy for me and I could do it myself
What about metal?
They don't make cordless drills like they used to! (Thank god!)
Please explain exactly how this plastic makes your life stress free??
Well for one, it keeps wildlife from nesting underneath your deck which can cause stressful scenarios. Is that a good enough explanation Ron?
How do you cut the lattice?
With a circular saw and a fine-toothed plywood blade.
