Use one of these free DIY lattice plans to create a lattice that can be used outdoors as a privacy screen or a place to grow climbing plants. You can use them inside as a decorative element for things like doors and headboards.
Some of these plans use lattice panels that you can buy and others show you how to build your own lattice. They're both easy building projects that even the beginner can handle.
In some of these plans, you'll see that the words lattice and trellis are used interchangeably. A lattice is made up of wooden strips that cross each other, most commonly, in a square or diagonal pattern. A trellis is a wooden frame that's used to support climbing plants.
You'll also occasionally see the words arbor and pergola being used with lattice and trellis. An arbor is often used as an entrance that you walk through with either a square or a domed top. A pergola is similar but provides more shade because it has a larger roof than an arbor. An arbor or pergola can include lattice or trellises as part of their designs.
