Wood Lattice

How many times have you driven by "this house" in the neighborhood and saw the ugly side of the house. It is a place where even the bravest of souls would not dare venture into (unless you're a rodent or small animal). So you think, "a small porch skirting are all these people need."

In the old house - say 60 + years - there was really nothing like mesh or lattice panels. The owners simply ignored the question and threw together a few pieces of wood to make a semblance of an enclosure.

The first time you really saw porch skirting was when mobile homes occur. There was everything from low cost metal skirting and wooden brick upscale, and even fake stone surrounds. Each was used for one purpose: to cover the eyesore that was and is the wheel and jacks.

Metal skirting came with many problems because it would bend easily, do maintenance at ground level a little difficult (even dangerous), and was exposed to the elements. A good alternative - but not as expensive as brick or stone - a wooden trellis. It was a good solution because it offers more ventilation than brick, sufficient control rodent pests, and gave a more uniform appearance. The drawback of lattice wood porch skirting is the maintenance. Without treatment, the network would deteriorate and the repair was almost impossible. Even the signs that had been treated with a dye necessary maintenance or painting.

As timed progressed, trellis disappear and the door open to vinyl lattice panels. They offered the same benefits as the wood - ventilation, pest control, and appearance - but the maintenance was slim to none. Even better, vinyl mesh offers better choices when it comes to aesthetics.

Although the mobile home started the trend as homeowners with porches and decks were open considering vinyl lattice panels as an option. The problem, however, was that there was really no selection. Thus Marcus McAvoy made his debut: handmade signs appealing to his own house. One thing lead to another and porch skirting has become not only functional but also very decorative and attractive.
