Installation Guide
•  Deckorators plastic lattice can be cut and drilled using 
standard tools. 
•  Use rustproof or rust-resistant fasteners to maintain the 
beauty of your project over time. 
•  For a distinguished look, frame panels with plastic caps 
and connect panels with plastic dividers (fig. 1). 
•  Always allow a 1/4" gap between the lattice edge and 
moulding for the panel to expand and contract with 
temperature changes (fig. 2). 
•  Lattice must be attached to a self-supporting structure or 
frame. Suspend lattice from top row of fasteners. 
•  Along the top, predrill oversized holes every two feet 
through both the moulding and lattice with a 1/4" drill bit 
and fasten with screws. Do not overtighten screws.
•  Along the sides and bottom, predrill oversized holes every 
two feet through the moulding only and fasten with screws. 
DO NOT overtighten screws (fig. 3).
• DO NOT install lattice in a horizontal application. Without 
proper support, lattice will be prone to sagging, rippling and 
heat retention.
Deckorators lattice is a nonporous material. Coatings such as 
paints and stains do not adhere well to the surface.
