It seems like a simple thing to do, but does anyone have any advice on installing lattice? I am looking for how to's.

I am installing under a deck where the ground slopes. The deck starts around 6 ft. off the ground and slopes to about 8. I'd like to frame it liek I have seen others, I think it looks very nice.

The most common and easiest way to install lattice is to nail it onto the legs and joist adding a 2x at the bottom for support. I think it looks best when set in its own frame. This is a little time consuming but well worth the extra work IMO. Bascially you construct a frame out of 2x2 [other dimensions will work] and attach the lattice to the back side. Then attach the unit to the structure. The heavier lattice [costs a little more] is easier to work with.
