A covalent lattice is a type of bond that occurs between non-metal atoms. The atoms bond to an certain number of atoms which bond to more atoms etc. Examples include graphite, diamond and silica.

So a network covalent bond or macromolecular bond is basically a bunch of covalently bonded atoms. Imagine a diamond structure or crystal structure that keeps expanding but a model only shows a building block of the substance. So like a brick wall to a brick.
