Use bamboo rolls to build fence screening

Here are steps for building a standalone bamboo screen or attaching bamboo rolls to fences and existing structures.

1. Measure the length and width of the designated privacy screening area (Take note of bends or any adjustments).
2. Order bamboo fencing panels and treated posts (according to how many you’ll need from your measurement in Step 1)
3. Dig the soil and set the posts in place (You may have to cement the posts to provide additional strength).
4. Build a strong frame connecting the treated posts.
5. Cut to length and width of the screening area (Some DIYers prefer to cut the bamboo splits after the bamboo splits are in place).
6. Tie the bamboo rolls with cable ties or wires to the mainframe (in Step 4)
7. Tidy the edges of the bamboo fence screening rolls and clear up.

Use treated posts with bamboo fencing rolls

Ideally, the round-treated posts tend to match the roundness of the bamboo stick, unless the bamboo screens are splits. 

Use a strong post that you think will go well with the bamboo panels. 

Choosing a good fence post is important for building a new standalone privacy screen. 

For a strong support system, the posts should not be too close or further apart - too close and you’ll need more posts, further apart and the structure will wobble. 

An interval of 1 metre or 1.5 metres between the pillar posts is ideal.

Select the best bamboo fence roll 

The bamboo fencing screen is quick to set up and lasts longer. 

The bamboo fencing rolls, splits and splits are great products for fencing screens. 

 The main problems with these products are mould and rusty weather. 

These problems are easily avoided when you do a good check of the bamboo fencing products prior to buying them.

Bamboo garden furniture

The bamboos are tough raw materials for making furniture. 

Aside from the fine finishes applied to protect the garden and home bamboo furniture, they have natural antibacterial properties that protect them. 

 One thing to mention here is that the bamboo fibre itself, like other raw materials, is not durable. 

But its natural durability and toughness are further enhanced during the manufacturing process through the application of finishes. 

Furthermore, the laminated bamboo strips are stronger than a single oak timber, for example. This means that the garden bamboo furniture is stronger, tougher and more durable.
