Lattice Screen

Comments about Lattice Screen:

This is the second time I purchased this item. The first Screen lasted 10-Years before the wood would not hold the screws. I will be trying to extend the 10-years by clear coating the wood which I did not do on the first Screen. Another products from Gardner's worth the money.

I use the lattice screen to hide a grill.

Bought this to hide our ugly air conditioner in the garden. I knew from reading previous reviews that the hinges would not be attached. Usually, I'd be unhappy about spending so much money and still having to screw on hinges. But with this product, I ended up being glad to do it myself, because the "pre-drilled holes" they placed on the screen were placed on the wrong sides of the screens, such that the less-attractive, heavily-stapled side would be showing, and the attractive, smooth side would have been hidden. The good news is, the hinges were easy to screw into the soft wood without the dubious help of these holes. And the screen is attractive and fits over the rather large AC unit just great. I'm glad it was on sale, because I'd have been unhappy paying full price for this sort of thing, otherwise.

Beware: the predrilled holes for the hinges are on the finished side of the lattice. So once the hinges are on the unfinished side (side with all the staples)is what is showing.You can put the hinges on the unfinished side but the predrilled holes will still show and look as if you made a mistake while assembling the screen. May be worth the sale price but not the full price.

I am waiting until spring to put this around the air conditioner unit. It is nicely constructed and will add to the appearance. I'm going to have to figure out a way to secure it in place, because of the wind around my house.

This is enclosing a trash can on my front patio

All you get are three panels. It's up to you to hinge them or fasten them together. Also, the wood is stained, but not protected, so that needs to be done too.

This requires some work, but most folks can handle it. Just don't expect to use it right out of the box.

It looks nice. I doubt that it will take much abuse, but that should be OK.

This screen was surprisingly attractive and well built. I put a couple of coats of Marine Oil on it to make it more weather and UVR resistant. Also the hinges that came with the screen were small and not very substantial so I invested in some larger antique brass hinges, put them on and it looks great.
I will put it around anything under my carport that I would like to have handy but I don't want to look at. I am very pleased with the furniture like detail that the screen has and would definitely recommend it to someone who doesn't mind putting a little extra effort into weatherproofing and hardware upgrading.

I use it in my driveway as a small separation from my neighbor, with whom I share the driveway

No where in the ad did it explain that I have to put the hinges on this screen. I am a single woman and this is a great inconvenience and I would have never purchased this if I had known I had to put it together. Now I have to find someone to do this for me.
