I'm not convinced you get the same airflow with a lattice 2" away
from the side of a condenser.

Do the math. Hint: #1 the fins take up space, same as lattice does.
To be accurate, you have to know the fin spacing and thickness of the
material.
#2 if it is not enclosed on alls ides, you will still be sucking air
in from the open sides.

FWIW, I worked for a company that made such coils for 7 years and have
a bit of experience with them. Biggest coils we made were 20' long x
4' high, smallest was 6" x 6".
