Infopak Deck & Fence Page 7 Aprons and Screens The area between the deck and the ground can be enclosed several ways. First a frame is built, and lattice is attached to the frame closing in the space. Another way is to attach vertical boards to the frame similar to placing boards on a board fence. You must determine approximately how much space to leave between these boards if any. Another option is to place the boards horizontally. Similarly a screen can be built on the top of the deck to provide privacy. If you are going to use Lattice you can inset the lattice into the frame or simply fasten it outside in the same fashion as the boards. If you are insetting the lattice then you will either need a nailer strip (ie: 1x2) or you will use a wood channel prepared for that purpose. The wood channel is usually 2x4x8’ with a groove cut in it length ways to accept the lattice. The sizes of lumber you will use for the Frames (ie: 2-2x4 or 4x4) is set in your Materials Available options. The sizes of lumber for the Members are also set in these options. Fill in any Dimensional or non-Dimensional lumber used for the frames, if Dimensional lumber is used enter the Wood Type number (which you previously entered) into the wood type column Sku # Description wood type price module 1x2x4’ 1x2x8’
