How can I create more privacy on a lattice fence?
We put a new fence with lattice at the top. The lattice part is too see through. Ideally, I would like to use colored glass to plug up the small openings or a large piece to go across the panel which measures 90" X 10". Any ideas??

Hi Nivva, glass would be pricy, how many panels are you covering up? I know you can purchase outdoor bamboo sheets that look nice and may not be quite as expensive. If you call your local glass shop / cutter they can give you a quote and I know mine in town here offers frosted options etc.
you could have a long piece cut to go across the top of the panel or use plexiglass instead of real glass to be more cost effective- plexiglass comes in different colors as well
Hi Hi there! Have you considered adding a second lattice panel and spacing/arranging it so the open spaces are covered by the second one? It would take some additional cutting at "patching" for the newer layer, but could easily be done. This idea is a bit far out there, but......you could place faux succulents prchased in bulk from the DollarTree and push into most of the holes in your lattice.
I like Janice idea. Second lattice panels offset to make the openings smaller. You can also use corrugated plastic roofing panels. They come in different colors.
Lattice used for porch skirting is also known as privacy lattice. The holes are much smaller providing much more privacy.
There are fence screens you can buy for privacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgC7qgvGEhg
The filling of the holes in the lattice fence with glass may make it top heavy, especially in strong winds and take it down. Since you already have the lattice in place, a second layer of it sounds like a good option for you, and allows for some air flow through and gives you privacy.
We used T-11 over existing lattice panels on our outdoor shower for privacy. Do you have a budget or homeowners rules to adhere to? Some outdoor rated fencing material might be suggested
Wouldn't sheets of glass be quite heavy? I wonder if you had those corrugated plastic sheets (that you can get at the Dollar Store) and then covered those with the "frosted" looking sheets (they come in a roll) they sell at Home depot or Lowes?
You could add a screen or faux greenery.
Get glass that size and get a stained glass kit to do a decoration on the glass it’s easy copy a pic from u derneith or draw one.
Colored glass I think would look amazing!
Perhaps grow some kind of vine on the lattice.
Hi, Coloured Plexi glass or Perspex
How about get picture frames from the dollar store wood ones only use glass and frames and make stained glass on them and hang then up in the space I would also scorch gard for weather proofing
So you could get another piece of lattice and use it as a template. Then purchase plastic plexiglass at Home Depot or Lowe's. Cut it to size and then lay the lattice template over the top and use different colored spray paints to paint the open parts of the plexi under the lattice. That would give you the look of individual glass panes, but much easier and cheaper. The hardest part would be making sure that everything lines up correctly. Oh and you'd have to make sure you were using the proper brand of spray paint for the plexi.
You can staple on a piece of drop cloth cut to size. Lets in light but very private.
Hi there, you could put foliage living or faux on it, but you could also grab mor lattice and offset it so the holes don't match up, keeps it looking reasonable as well. Lastly, just purchase lengths of 1"x2" boards and nail them on horizontally, 2 per section and spaced so they are centered, that will reduce the view as well. I attached a very rough sketch of the 1x2 idea to help my description. Hope it gives you some ideas You can also get another piece of lattice and put it over the existing but don't line up the holes.
Grow a Plant up the fencing?
Privacy slats,
Glass outside on a fence probably not the best idea. Why not get a roll of bamboo fencing and just attach that to your lattice fence (if the lattice fence can handle the weight).
