latticed

Crisscrossed with strips

Latticed describes something having or covered with a lattice—a structure of crossed strips forming a pattern of open spaces.

Windows may be latticed with diagonal wooden strips, and garden walls latticed to support climbing plants.

The word suggests a decorative or functional grid pattern: Sunlight filtered through the latticed screen.
