FAQs
Can I paint the Hidcote Lattice?
Yes, once the timber is fully dry, you can apply a suitable garden wood paint or stain to match your garden's color scheme.
Does the 15-year guarantee cover the finish?
The 15-year anti-rot guarantee covers the structural integrity of the timber against decay and rot, but not the aesthetic appearance or paint color.
Is this lattice suitable for heavy climbers?
Yes, the 8mm thick battens are specifically designed to support the weight of established climbing roses and other mature plants.
Can I mount this directly onto a brick wall?
It is recommended to use spacers or battens between the wall and the lattice to allow for ventilation, which prevents dampness and prolongs the wood life.
Are the dimensions accurate?
The panels are manufactured to 180cm in height, with widths varying by the specific variant selected.
Troubleshooting
The wood is showing signs of surface discoloration.
Surface greening is a common result of the pressure treatment process and will typically fade; if preferred, you can apply a timber stain.
The panel feels unstable after mounting.
Ensure you are using the correct number of fixings and that they are anchored into solid structural members like wall plugs or fence posts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Hidcote Lattice, ensure you have a spirit level and appropriate wall or post fixings. When mounting, it is recommended to use galvanized screws to prevent corrosion over time. If you decide to cut the lattice to a custom size, ensure you treat the cut end with a high-quality timber preservative to maintain the integrity of the pressure treatment. While the product comes with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, periodically checking the tension of the mountings after high winds or heavy rainfall will help ensure the panels remain secure for the duration of their lifespan.
