Step 3. Attach Horizontal Slats
Set 11 horizontal slats (C) across vertical lath.

Apply a dab of wood glue to strengthen each join – do not nail into place
until all 11 slats have been positioned.
Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, use ¾ inch nails or staple gun to tack lattice together. (use 2 nails per join)
Step 4. Attach Trellis Panel To Frame
Slip 2 nailing strips under the panel along the inside of each post.
Place 2 more nailing strips on top of trellis panel and tight against posts.
Tack top nailing strips to posts using (8) 1-½ inch nails per strip
Flip entire frame assembly over and tack nailing strips to backside of panel as
above.
Repeat above steps for 2nd panel.
Hinge Placement
Set Both Trellis Screen Panels flat on ground – side by side.
Measure 10 inches from top of post and attach a hinge.
Measure 10 inches from bottom of post and attach a hinge.
Measure 40 inches from end of post and attach middle hinge.
Trellis Anchoring Hints
Although the L-Shape will allow your Trellis Screen to sit as a free standing unit, you may want to use anchors in windy areas.
To anchor your new Trellis Screen you can use a 2 foot section of rebar hammered into the ground and then wired to each post – or your local hardware store will have suitable post anchors that can be used in a similar fashion. If attaching to a deck a simple L-Bracket can be used to secure to the deck floor.
