I wanted a privacy deck and thankfully my husband is a builder. He took cedar lattice and framed it into 2x2 cedar by dato cutting into the 2x2's. Then he put those panels between the cedar 4x4's. It was a lot more work but it looks beautiful. Now I can tan on the deck a bit more discreetly.
I like how it looks too when you take
cedar 2x4's and put deckorators balusters (aluminum sq balusters) in. It looks slick. They come in assorted colors.
