There are several ways to frame the plastic lattice. Framing or mounting is very important as a full sheet of lattice cannot support itself standing up.

For fence tops the Steel Privacy Fence rails are very good
     and cost effective. We supply tailor made clips to secure
     the lattice in the rails.

There is a metal frame available, but it is a little tedious to install.

Also available are plastic "H" joiners and "U" channels. These are
     very convenient for joining sheets or finishing the cut edges,
     but structurally not so easy to mount.

An easy clip together plastic frame is available. The finish is very
     neat and it is easy to install. The drawback is that the components
     are rather expensive.

Finally there is always the possibility to fasten (say nail or screw
     the sheet against an existing timber or metal frame.

 
   
  There is one very important point to keep in mind. You will need to allow room for the plastic sheet to expand when in direct sunlight or heat. We recommend to allow 5mm in any direction on a full sheet taken from the centre. (thus 2450 for a 2440 sheet). If you screw direct to a timber frame then mount the sheet into a U channel and fix the edge of the U channel to the timber. In that way the sheet can move inside the U channel.
