purchasing an extra box of shade slats.
• White resin lattice in variety of shapes and sizes are available at
your local lumberyard. Cut to size and fasten directly to the top
of shade slats using stainless steel screws.
• In areas of extreme snow or wind load, do not use tight diamond
privacy lattice.
