PORCH LATTICE HOW TO
You can also learn more about how to build a porch online or in some of the following books. Once I get the entire porch done I’ll post some more photos. I’m using stainless steel siding nails to attach the trim boards. I’ve found that this stuff really wants to move under temperature changes and once you glue the joint it will never come apart. I’m also using PVC cement for the miter joints and scarf joints. Here you can see the lattice held in place by the rabbit in the trim piece. I’ve nailed the frames in place but the lattice just floats inside the rabbits. If you just nail the stuff in place it WILL buckle.
One of the big problems with vinyl lattice is the amount of thermal expansion and contraction. Each panel is made out of 1×6 KLEER PVC trim for the frame and 1/4″ thick PVC privacy lattice that I bought at HD.Įach piece of the frame has a 1″ wide by 5/16″ deep rabbit on the back side to receive the lattice. I’m building the entire thing out of PVC trim and PVC lattice.
Today I started building the “skirt” below our large farmers porch.
You want to make sure you leave air spaces so there is good circulation under the porch to prevent rot. One of the biggest reasons to close off this space is to keep skunks and other animals out. However, the materials were going to be about triple what I’m spending on this so that made the decision pretty easy. I was thinking about using an older style where you put vertical boards with a small gap between them. The old lattice was rotted, and had to be ripped out, which exposed the wonderment of the area under the porch. lattice styles decking House With Porch Up House House Roof Diy Deck Outdoor Spaces Patio Plan lattice+panels+for+porches Add deck skirting for your raised synthetic deck or wood deck. I’ve been trying to decide what style “skirt” to put under our new farmers porch and finally it came down to cost.
