Thanks Susie!!! I'll let him know
As for your nieghbors persmission... No way!!
Just build it on your 'own post's'. You know, buy the two extra post that you would originally used to attach your lattice to-on 'his fence'. Ya know, put those post in line with his fence, and attach your lattice to them, not his fence at all. No good there, if he ever decides to take down that fence, or upgrade do to rotting wood, your hotel is down and gone!!
If you have your 'own post' your stronger, and forever!! And no permission asking!
Basically, for one hotel;
-Buy 4-5 posts- 4x4x8 or 10', depending on how tall your going, and deep, that's your base. Make sure you measure the length of your Lattice. As that's where your attaching them, on the back post. Burry your post at that length. And also in the depth you want- depth of your hotel from the fence, that's where your front post go.
That 5th post is for the middle, stability of your lattice. As I have SOOOO many hanging on them, that I had to 'tie' the top of the lattice to the fence. Cause she was bowing.
-2x6's for framing, and support across top and sides.
-Lattice sheets -I have back and top, sides done. Your choice. I didn't have across the top, until this past weekend. I did that now, cause the squirrels and sun had the shade cloth falling down/in like curtains. Now the lattice on top and sides serves the purpose of strength, and also more places for me to Hang more chids!
And then Shade cloth- Cover her up!! I bought a roll from Lowes and that works great for me!! Chids love it!
Oh, and the blinds from Lowes too. They come in the right size for this, 8' I think they are. The same as the Lattice size is. And in different colors too.
Sorry, but I just wanted to help you out, so you too can enjoy your chids even more!! And so will they
