How do I fix the lattice to a wall?

Troubleshooting
Lattice appears to be unstable after installation.
Check the fixings to ensure they are secure and tight. Ensure that the supporting posts are stable and properly installed. Consider adding additional support if needed.
Climbing plants are not attaching to the lattice.
Ensure the plants have tendrils or stems that can naturally grip the lattice structure. Consider using plant ties or clips to provide additional support until the plants establish themselves.
The lattice has become discolored over time.
This is a natural process for timber. The pressure treatment will continue to protect the timber, even if the color fades. You can apply a suitable wood stain if desired to restore color.
