Following are some brief introduction for some of bamboo fences

Rolled Bamboo Fencing are made of 1.0-5.0mm bamboo poles which are strung together with threading galvanized wire going through the bamboo pole or woven with black nylon coated galvanized wire. These products can be used to partition gardens or border walkways, or extends from the house or a wall as a decorative screen, or to define space. Linked together and rolled up for easy shipping and delivery. Rolled bamboo fencing can be installed onto wood posts, or over pre-existing fences, including chain link.

Bamboo Slat Fence utilizes 1/2 round or other shape bamboo slats instead of bamboo poles. It also usually comes in rolled up sections. The big difference between pole fence and slat fencing is weather resistance. You'll want to treat your slat fencing with a weather sealer to prevent it from experiencing rotting and other weather damage.

Bamboo Fencing X-tras
While bamboo fencing is beautiful in and of itself, many homeowners also choose to dress it up some to make it look more permanent, and to help boost its structural integrity. Building a fir wood frame, including posts, crossbars, and top rails, is an excellent way to support, and solidify your bamboo fencing, making it a more permanent fence solution. Of course, while wood frames provide a solid base for installation, it's not necessary.

Bamboo Twig Fence is made of small bamboo twigs interwoven and held together with galvanized steel wire. It resembles a thatch fence, is a little more open than other bamboo fencing, and won't last quite as long. Still, if you're searching for a tropical feel for your fencing needs, you find a better product than bamboo twig fence.

Bamboo border edging--low rolled fences have two types of regular and irregular height for straight or curved edges, they are usually used as pedestrian control fencing, pathway divider, where foot traffic is directed away from fragile plants and flower. Or as raised flower beds to enclose flower pots and plants, Poles are coated with lacquer to prolong life lasting up to 10-15 years in outdoors. It’s really an attractive edging for borders, beds, paths and drives.
