I spoke with 3 different HVAC reps and each advised that even though you go with lattice you want to make sure you leave ample space for them to service, at least 3 feet. That is why I find this project so appealing. Removable panels would make sure they have plenty of space.
Build a Removable Trellis Screen to Hide Your Air Conditioners
Fencing
Since HT is constantly emailing us to not put a link in, I will explain it:
spray paint whatever color your lattice will be, hammer into the ground at least 8”.
2. Attach the cut/to/sized and painted lattic panels with long nylon re-usable Zip Ties.
They need to be re-usable zip ties for when you need to rake the leaves out from between the two.

Not a Lattice Privacy Screen
Lattice was the first thing I thought about when I saw your message. But I also saw this recently and it would look great and it looks easy to install. https://amzn.to/2VXvGe1
