Do you have something to hide in your yard? A nice way to conceal bulky garbage cans or a not-so-attractive HVAC unit is with a lattice divider. Vinyl lattice panels provide a good-looking cover-up and create an attractive backdrop for any landscape. Even an eyesore in your neighbor’s yard can be shielded from view. These are versatile panels that will endure all kinds of weather and require only a routine wash down with a garden spray to remove dirt and mildew.

Lattice material, in white and green, is sold in 4-by-8-foot sections and U-shaped channels in 8-foot lengths. The channels frame the panels to create finished edges and are fastened together with screws. Both are sold in the building materials sections of home and garden centers and lumber yards. To build a 16-foot divider, you’ll need four 4-by-8-foot vinyl trellis panels, eight molded U-shaped channels, screws, crushed stone and pressure-treated end posts.
