Default Outdoor dryer vent

So our outdoor dryer vent is on the deck wall, and lint gets stuck in the decking crevices. It's annoying and a pain to clean. What kind of "loose trap" could I put over it to keep this from happening?

I can tell you what doesn't work.

We took a little storage box with a lid & cut a hole the size of the vent in the lid so the lint would blow into the box. I mean it helps a little, but not much. The lint still blows up the cracks on the side of the hole that the vent goes into.

So Im interested in hearing solutions that work!
