Why Look for an Alternative to Wood?
Wood can look excellent when newly installed, but depending on climate and exposure it may need painting, sealing, staining, repairs or replacement boards. For some homeowners, reducing that maintenance is a priority.
What Should a Good Alternative Offer?
- Low maintenance
- Outdoor durability
- Privacy
- Modern appearance
- Easy cleaning
- Compatibility with the architecture
Decorative Panels as a Modern Alternative
LatticeSmart panels can create privacy fencing, patio dividers, pool-area screens, side-yard partitions, pergola features and service-area screens with a cleaner architectural surface than traditional individual boards.
No Rust. No Rot. No Fading. Low Maintenance.
Privacy Without a Conventional Fence
Not every project needs a completely solid perimeter. Decorative patterns can reduce direct views, define outdoor zones and add identity while keeping the space visually lighter.
Panel Sizes
3 ft × 6 ft is ideal for vertical privacy applications. 4 ft × 4 ft works well as a modular fence and divider format.
Can You Replace an Existing Wood Fence?
Often, yes—but the existing posts, spacing and structure should be evaluated first. Weak or deteriorated framing should not be used as the foundation for a new installation.
Wood vs. LatticeSmart
Wood: traditional appearance, may require painting or sealing, and can deteriorate from moisture.
LatticeSmart: modern architectural appearance, no rust, no rot, no fading and lower maintenance.
