I want to build a privacy fence with verticle pickets that has a lattice top. Any suggestions on how to do this. I would really like a link to a website that can show me building plans.

Thanks!

Combine this site's instructions with the second link, below, to create a basic lattice top fence:

This site talks about adding the lattice top to an existing fence:

A very fancy lattice top fence and gate is shown here:

These links should give you some ideas and get you started in the process of building your fence. Remember, the first step is going to be visiting your local building code department to find out about design requirements, setbacks and permits.

If you want to keep the "New" look to your project try Fence-Seal, available on HomeDepot.com. If you use it when the wood is new and fresh it keeps it looking new for years. Leaves the natural color which is really cool

Hey GreenOptions.

For anyone interested in finding the above product, the easiest way is to use the "Search All" box option at the top of any homedepot.com page.  Simply type in TriCoPolymer and hit the enter/return key.  See the picture below:

I hope this helps,
