I framed out four 8x4 lattice panels, how can I securely attached them to a 4" chain link fence? (pics)

This is the view from my living room and the entry way to our patio and backyard. We're cleaning the patio and planting flowers this week but something I want to do is finally add some privacy between our living room and patio and the back of our neighbors house. I have four 8x4 lattice panels that I'm framing out with 2x4's and 1x2's similar to this. They're very sturdy and they're 4 individually framed panels. I can easily screw them together but I'm not sure if that's the best course of action for what I'm trying to accomplish. What I'm wanting to do is attach the lattice panels vertically to the 4" chain link fence and grow clematis vines (like this) from a pot to block our view of our neighbor's house (and their view straight into our house). I'm also trying to avoid digging holes and putting in posts. The space next to my patio and the fence is only 3 feet and filled with gravel, rock slabs, weeds, and old stumps from all the trees I've lazily let grow over the years before cutting down. What's the best way to do this? I'm thinking u bolts but I'm not sure submitted by /u/NotBannedAccount419 [link] [comments]
