 Let’s face it: Lattice fencing has a reputation for being a bit … cute. While lattice fencing may make you think of your grandmother’s rose garden, many landscape designers are using lattice in hip, modern ways. Here are three fun, practical ways to incorporate lattice fencing into your landscape design scheme.
Purely Decorative
The most obvious way to use lattice fencing is for decoration. If you have a solid privacy fence, try running about 6 inches of lattice trim along the top to give your fence an ornamental look. Lattice is also a great way to make a gate stand out from the rest of a solid privacy fence. Don’t overdo it, though; a little lattice can go a long way.

Fences come in all sorts of different shapes, sizes and materials. With certain fence styles in much greater demand than others, it makes sense to offer several standard, widely available options. Some fences even come in prefabricated sections for fast and easy installation.
While most homeowners these days opt for a more cost-effective, standard type of fencing, some are just aching to build a one-of-a-kind custom cedar fence. Often these are fences the homeowners have designed themselves, sometimes using elements they’ve seen in other fences.

Rick’s Fencing understand that home owners are looking for the best deals when it comes to home improvement costs. That’s why we are happy to be offering the Western Red Cedar fence boards starting at just $0.99 per board. This rustic wood fence board has some great advantages:
