With the three 4x4s laid out, it was time to screw the lattice cap molding in place! We attached 1 piece on the outer edge of the 2 outside 4x4s making sure it was flush with the top. Make sure the angles on a single piece go in opposite directions for this type of assembly. ![]() And then cut the remaining 2 lattice caps in half before also cutting the 45s on them. We cut 45-degree angles on both ends of 4 lattice cap pieces. So keep that in mind if you’re building a smaller version for your yard. We used 10-foot 4x4s since we’d need about 2 feet in the ground and 8 above. That way we wouldn’t be working over our heads, both literally and figuratively. Since the finished product would be 8+ feet above the ground, we built everything on the ground first. So we came up with a way to “decorate” her outdoor living space AND give her a little more privacy with 2 panels of lattice and some flower pots.

Double check with your local homeowner’s association, or consult city and state laws to see how tall you can make your fence. But you should also keep in mind that your fences can only reach up to a certain height. These decorations will make your fence more fun to look at while also serving a practical function.
