Bamboo Fence Panels

Bamboo fence panels add a unique and tropical look to your garden like nothing else!

Our forests are rapidly declining across the world and this is the fastest growing plant to use as an alternative to timber.

Using bamboos for fencing instead of wood is another way to help reduce the deforestation of our irreplaceable woodlands.

Designs and Sizes

They are available in a wide variety of sizes and designs.

Some are constructed completely out of bamboo and others are designed with wooden frames.

An example of what is available is; partial and/or full privacy fences, low garden edging, the traditional Japanese fencing panel, and rolled fence panels for flexibility.

Prefabricated

Prefabricated fencing sections and screens offer time savings.

Ready built and delivered directly to your home or business.

Care and Maintenance

They are just like wooden fencing; they age and fade, and last for years.

Expect to provide the same level of care and maintenance as you would provide to protect and maintain a wooden fence.

It is recommended to use preservatives for maintaining your fencing quality such as; petroleum base preservatives, and oils such as hemp.

DIY Fencing

On investigation it costs less and is more convenient to buy fence panels already made rather than trying to make your own. It's not easy to make your own fencing and will take a long time.

When you weigh up the cost plus the hours you would put into making them yourself it hardly seems worth it. You would also have to have experience of building fencing products really otherwise you may end up with a weak fence that would blow down in the first gale!

However...

If you like doing DIY (do it yourself) and want to build your own bamboo fence panels, you should consider rolled fences with caps and mouldings.

Portable screens are also a good consideration for DIY bamboo fence building.

Fencing Alternatives

Living hedges, screens, or windbreaks are excellent alternatives to bamboo fence panels.

You could even grow a privacy screen for a couple of years and harvest some of it to turn it into garden edging or a fencing panel!

If you are interested I have sections on this website that provide more detail on live fencing, see below.

Privacy Screen

Bamboos can easily be cultivated into privacy screens for gardens and trimmed and pruned to achieve an outcome that is similar to other types of hedging.

The main difference between a privacy screen and a hedge is that a screen will normally be taller, hedges generally shorter with a more formal appearance.

For more detail and a list of suitable species have a browse through my page dedicated to Bamboo Screen.

Windbreak

Bamboo plants are excellent for domestic or commercial windbreaks as they can be cultivated, pruned, trimmed up... and harvested for a variety of uses.

For detailed information on windbreaks please see my dedicated page that includes; the reduction of wind force, flexibility of bamboo, stability of root mass, benefits, cultivation and examples of bamboo species see my section on Bamboo Wind Break.
