A lattice forming machine is disclosed for forming lattice from first and second lattice sections ( 12, 14 ) which are joined together by a pin ( 20 ) having first and second pin sections ( 28, 30 ) and a mid-section ( 22 ). The machine includes an indexing mechanism ( 66 ) for indexing a lattice section passed a pin insertion mechanism ( 90 ) for inserting the pins into one of the lattice sections. A jig ( 160 ) is provided for receiving the lattice sections with the pins, and for enabling second lattice sections to be loaded onto the lattice sections with the pins, and a roller assembly ( 170 ) is provided for receiving the jig so as to cause the lattice sections to be pressed together to force the pins into the second lattice sections to form the lattice.
