    Lattice Topped Fence

    A lattice-topped fence combines a private lower panel with a lighter upper edge. It can screen seating areas and neighbouring windows while allowing sun and breeze around the top. The structure can be strengthened for exposed wind zones and detailed with suitable treated timber for wet clay, coastal moisture or alpine freeze-thaw cycles.

    How the Fence Looks From Each Side

    See how the private lower panel and daylight-friendly upper grid appear on either side.

    Presentation Side

    Outside, the solid base forms a private boundary and the lattice gives the top line a lighter architectural detail.

    Property Side

    Inside, the rails support the lower boards while the upper grid admits light and can carry climbing plants.

    Configure the Fence for Your Site

    Set the solid-panel height, lattice pattern, top finish, slope treatment and gate positions to match the way you use the property.
