Now, from reading the over-simpified overly-short, manufacture's instructions, I should drill 4, 5, or 6 oversized holes, put screws through the lattice and let the lattice panel hang from the top of my built frame ("top mounting"). HERE'S what I am going to do: I am going to build a treated lumber frame large enough to direct mount a 4X8 panel of vinyl lattice (lattice will be 8' high and 4' wide for roses to climb). I also phoned the manufacture to get more detailed info- they simply repeated what was in their written instructions. FIRST, you should know that I already have gone to the manufactures website and printed off their instillation instructions (it really doesn't tell much except (for direct mounting) one should "mount from top" -and "drill the holes larger" than the mounting screw/nail for expansion. So, before I start building 3 more trellis for climbing roses this Summer, I want to get suggestions from this forum. #Plastic vinyl lattice panels cracked#HOWEVER, on a number of projects, it has cracked (I did something wrong). I've used the 4'x8' vinyl lattice for triming out the bottom/outside of porches-I've also built a trellis frame and attached a 4X8 panel of vinyl lattice for climbing roses -90% of the time, the paneling has made it through several seasons (cold and hot) without cracking and/or buckeling.
