Have something to hide on your property? A lattice enclosure is an attractive way to conceal anything from an old oil or gas tank to large garbage cans to kid’s yard toys. Plastic lattice panels create good-looking cover-ups, and the material is durable and maintenance-free.

You’ll find lattice panels at garden and home and lumber centers in a variety of colors—white, green, gray, and others—and sold in 4-foot-by-8-foot panels. You can finish the edges of the enclosure with matching molded U-shaped channels that frame the panels using screws. The material can be easily cut with a handsaw, so it’s a good first-time carpentry project for a beginner.
