A climbing lattice is a Gitterkonstruktion, which is usually installed for the purpose of the facade planting by means of a climbing plant.

According to this use climbing lattices consist i.d.R. of thin staff profiles (by the climbing organs of climbing climbers to be covered can). Although e.g. the sprout-climbing genuine wine (common grape vine) can up-grow well at large sized climbing lattices (wood), industrially manufactured climbing lattices consist i.d.R of wires up to approx. 6 mm in diameter and are rather kleinformatig. They are suitable then particularly for krautige or very dunntriebige climbers, which form short climbing, e.g. the popular Clematis hybrids.

Classical climbing lattices zierten off about end 19. Jh many agriculturally used buildings and (well) civil houses. Constructionally such climbing lattices differ little from Spalierkonstruktionen, how they are usual today still above all still in the alpine region.

Beside rather functional grid structures from slats (partly additional with wire covering) there were however often diagonally braced climbing lattices from thinner borders. These formed a lozenge sample, which covered frequently whole fronts and whose frame also round forms of the front took up. There the climbing lattice was used purposefully as independent element of a facade design.
