Bamboo fencing
Bamboo
fencing is a decorative and environmentally friendly
alternative to chain link or wood. Bamboo has several advantages
as a fencing material. First it is a grass and not a wood,
so it takes less time to grow and replenish the supply. In
fact it only takes 5 to 7 years to grow a mature bamboo plant
for harvesting whereas wood takes 50 to 100 years. The second
advantage of using bamboo as your fencing material is that
it is strong and durable. Finally bamboo looks great.
Bamboo fencing can be used for several purposes. First you
can use it to create a privacy fence that not only keeps people
from seeing into your yard, but that also provides a secure
perimeter of your property. Secondly you can use bamboo fencing
for a garden fence. Finally bamboo can be used to build a
Japanese fence to decorate your garden or yard.
 Bamboo fencing can be found just about anywhere. Most home
improvement stores will have bamboo
fence suppliers, and they will carry most of the bamboo
fence supplies that you will need to both set up your bamboo
fence and maintain it properly. For example they will offer
the bamboo fencing materials, bamboo gates, bamboo fence panels,
stains, and even hardware for assembling your bamboo fencing.
Like any other natural product, bamboo fencing will need
to be treated to prevent decay and weathering. It is recommended
that you apply a thin coat of UV resistant stain to your bamboo
fencing and bamboo gates to protect the bamboo from
the weathering effects of your climate. Also like any other
natural product, bamboo will weather, dry out, and crack over
time. The amount of weathering that your bamboo will experience
will depend on the weather conditions in your area, and the
amount of maintenance that you do.
