What tool do I use?
Hi all,
I’m repairing my lattice screen on my deck and need to also repair a few 2x4’s. I’ve checked around and I guess no lumber stores have the pre-drilled 1/2 inch deep grooves that the lattice sheets sit in. I don’t know what the tool is called and am hoping someone here can help.
thanks,
Rob

You could also use a router. Choose a bit the appropriate size for the slot you want. You will also need a guide fence to keep your slot straight.

Never knew that there was a specific groove for lattice work.

I tried that stuff and hated it.
Vinyl lattice expands and contracts a lot with a change in temp. and it tends to pull out of those pieces because there's no way to fasten it in place.
Please post a picture of what your trying to deal with.
Most often I've seen it installed incorrectly.

Thanks all, I appreciate your comments. I decided to install a different wall, as there is no cedar lattice sheets around here.
