Is lattice considered a fence?

Lattice is definitely available as a full fence. And it is also used as a feature to enhance the look of other fence styles.

Lattice fences

Lattice fences can be used sparingly within a yard for a decorative effect, or they can run along a property line like more traditional privacy fencing. Lattice fencing inside the yard is a terrific choice for green thumbs. With a creative design they can guide pedestrian flow while enhancing the appearance of the grounds. A single panel tastefully placed can give a splash of elegance to the humblest garden. They also look striking built along a property line and are a good option for folks interested in semi-privacy fencing.

Lattice toppers

Lattice is often blended in with other types of fences. A typical scenario: 5′ of privacy fence with 1′ of lattice on top. It really is the best of both worlds: privacy below, with more visible sight lines above that prevent a cramped and unfriendly look.

Screens

Lattice is also commonly used in screens. They’re typically installed on decks in lieu of full privacy dividers to give the deck a more open look and feel.
