Lattice Ideas For Under The Deck

Lattice Ideas For Under The Deck

Lattice is the number one choice for homeowners when it comes to how they enclose the underside of their deck.

Aside from the fact that lattice is the most cost effective choice available, it also allows the much needed airflow in the area.

The airflow will eliminate the chance of mold and moisture build up beneath the deck. The lattice can also keep leaves from blowing and gathering under the deck area. Let’s face it, this area can be hard to maintain.

The lattice can also keep animals from moving in and causing havoc under this space. There are also cosmetic reasons for using lattice under the deck.

Let’s take a look at a few ideas for lattice below your deck:

Consider including a lattice door that will give you access beneath your deck for a new storage area.

An upper level deck does not need to appear bare at the lower section. Incorporate the lattice sheets with the stairs and around the exposed areas to accomplish a unique look that ties the area together.

Leaving a large opening allows you a space that can be turned into either storage or better yet an additional outdoor room. Incorporate landscaping and now you have a beautiful focal point.
