We wanted to add a bit more privacy to our deck, and after thinking about different options, decided that lattice windows would work best. You can customize this look with as much or as little lattice as you want. In our situation, the openness of this design works great. It offers just the right amount of privacy screening, yet we can still enjoy the scenery. Another bonus is you can add some hooks and have plenty of room for hanging plants!
It took us a weekend to complete the project. Here's how we did it, and I've included a short video if you'd rather watch that instead. Full disclosure, this was one of the first videos I ever did, so it wasn't the best, LOL.
Step 1: Construct The Box Frame
Start out by constructing a box frame using pressure treated 2' x 4' wood.
Step 2: Construct the Reveal for Attaching Lattice
Next, attach 2' x 2' pieces of wood within the frame. This is what you'll attach the lattice to.
Step 3: Add Posts to the Existing Deck
Toe nail or toe screw new 4' x 4' posts to the existing deck.
Step 4: Squaring and Nailing
Square the frames. Then, nail the frames to the posts and the existing rail.
Step 5: Add the Top Plate
Nail top plate 2' x 4' to the posts and the lattice frame.
Step 6: Attach The Lattice
Using a brad nailer, attach the lattice to the backing 2' x 2's. Then attach a 2' x 2' face frame to give a finished look.
Step 7: That's it! Enjoy the extra privacy of your deck!

I've seen several DIY projects for privacy fences, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money or put a ton of effort into this project. Unfortunately, I have a champagne vision with a beer budget, but we were able to complete this project for less than $30 in under two hours. Paul (the hubs), was going to be doing most of the work, and I would be the job foreman. I'm happy to report that we're still married, even after our...«lively» debate about why its unrealistic for me to expect full growth ivy winding it's way through the lattice panels, while we sit in cushy new patio chairs sipping Mojitos listening to the gentle gurgle of a three-tier water feature that he could also build that weekend? Geesh, he's such a killjoy.
Whenever we would sit on our finished patio, all we could see was the eye-sore of our under deck. We didn’t like the look of traditional lattice but decided we needed to do something. We came across the idea to use wood slats and fell in love! This was an easy project that made a big impact on our outdoor space.

In the area we live in, backyards are very small and are commonly quite close to the neighbors. Even though my yard is enclosed by a fence, I wanted a privacy screen to further separate my backyard space from my neighbor’s house that is very close to mine on the other side. This wood slat screen was the perfect way to add a bit more privacy to my yard, and the contrast of the warm wood with the metal adds a lot of style at the same time. This was a relatively simple and inexpensive DIY project to complete in a weekend to beautify and improve my outdoor living area.
