lattice-work

Interwoven grid pattern

Lattice-work is a structure of crossed strips forming a grid pattern with open spaces between, used decoratively or as screening.

Garden fences, pergolas, and pie crusts commonly feature lattice-work: Roses climbed the lattice-work on the side of the house.

The pattern suggests both openness and enclosure—visible but separated.
