blocks neighbors hideous fence, provides screening from busy city street.looks great.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I used a regular staple gun to attach the panels and did the whole job myself in minutes.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

My neighbors have three annoying dogs that stare through the fence and bark at my dogs, so I wanted something that would block their view. Not only did I get that, but I got a very nice looking backdrop to my garden. It was very easy to attach to my existing fence, and the texture and style complement my yard. It doesn't look like it will last for very many seasons, but for the price I paid, it's worth the privacy and attractiveness.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I bought this to hide the dogs from those of us who don't want to be stared at all day. The screen does accomplish this. I was disappointed that the 'stitching' that holds the slats together is extreamly loose and the bamboo slips out if it's not sitting directly on the ground. The loose stitching also makes it hard to secure.I recomend wearing gloves to install, the slats have SHARP splinters that cut up your hands.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Placed this to provide visual barrier between my 2 golden retreivers and the 2 pit bulls next door.It worked in cutting down on the chasing and constant barking. It stood up well for 2 years, but the 50 inches of snow last year did it in. Just ordered more.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Slats are too far apart to provide serious privacy, but I really like the bamboo look. I've had two mats that I used as 'roofing' over my deck for the past several years, and they've lasted very nicely.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

[...] looks like they had inventory they uncovered from a previous year and then sent it out to customers when desparate to fill orders. At least will have on hand for next summer.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

A beautiful addition to our backyard that provides privacy with an attractive and peaceful garden feel. We started with 2 and bought 6 more! We LOVE IT and hope it weathers well as this will be our first WI winter it has to endure through.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I've used this fencing for years to spruce up chain-link fence and provide privacy. It looks great, lasts forever, and is easy to install.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We absolutely love the look and final outcome of adding bamboo fencing to our backyard/garden area. It is attractive and functional...it added some very nice privacy and looks GREAT! We bought two and loved it so much immediately purchased another one to complete the area.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This fencing gave us the privacy we needed at a good price. It was easy to install and take down at the end of the season.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

After next winter we will see how durable it is.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We bought the first 5'-high section of this fencing to cover a 100'-long section of chain-link for privacy. It was very easy to install since we just wired it onto existing fencing. It has weathered so well (that section has been up for 5 years) that we bought some of the 39"-high to attach to live-stock fencing on the other side of the property. It is a quick way to cover ugly wire fencing, provide privacy, and looks FABULOUS. We did have to replace a 3' section of it when a major oak limb came down on it and shattered the bamboo, but it wears well against smaller branches coming down. The color weathers well also - new sections blend in with sections that have been in place for several years. I don't know how easy it would be to install as fencing just by itself; we have only wired it onto existing wire or chain link fencing to beautify it and for privacy. Strong wind has not bothered it at all.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Solidly built for this type of item, with wire rather than lashing. Works well as a partial privacy screen and containing animals. Needs frequent staking to resist the wind.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I am using this product to screen AC units from view. Purchased poles from a separate source. Difficult to wrap the poles evenly with the screening. Therefore, in my case, looser at top than bottom.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I got this fence to keep my neighbor's new dog from lunging at my dog. The two of them would try to go at each other through the chainlink fence. We installed the bamboo fence with zip ties right on the chain link. It is attactive and much more affordable and easy than putting up a wood fence. Even though it is somewhat see-through, the dogs cannot really see each other and now just give a couple of barks and my neighbors and I can enjoy time in our yards with the dogs out. I did not have to move any plants next to the fence, just slid it right behind them.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

3/4 does have some noticeable gaps, keep that in mind when you purchase. It's a good product for the price and it has serviced my purpose of keeping my neighbors dogs and my dogs from being able to fight at the chain-link fence. It's a great cover-up for the chain-link, I was able to tuck it right under the top poll and tie it one with the bamboo string I bought. Overall, this was a great product I'm so please that I found it. [...]

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I used the bamboo fencing at the back of my property where I started a hosta garden last year. I easily attached the bamboo to a wire mesh fence I already had. What a difference ! It affords more privacy and gives the garden an Asian and more finised look.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

[...] The product is exactly what I expected based on reviews here. Yes, it is cheap, but it provides a moderate amount of privacy and looks pretty nice attached to a metal fence which is what I wanted. The lashing cord that I also ordered to attach the bamboo fencing to the metal fence was much too flimsy for that purpose. We used electrical supply zip ties.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Makes a nice screen.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We use this to cover a portion of chain link fencing by our patio. It gives it a cozy feeling along with privacy. With the addition of flowers, plants, and a chiminea it looks great and is our getaway spot for the season.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I did not realize how ugly the chain link fence was that is behind a border of hydrangeas. This flower bed is approximately 28 feet long. I attached the split bamboo fencing to the chain link fence and it was an instantaneous WOW factor. Even the neighbors stopped to look. The difference it has made in that particular flower bed is amazing!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I use this to hide an ugly rusted chain link fence between my neighbor and I. It provides just enough screened privacy between our yards. I attached it to the chain link fence with wire ties I had in the garage. I think it looks very nice and I love the way it looks behind the flowers and plantings.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Good, quick privacy screening. Probably most durable attached to a less attractive permanent fence.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Installed several sections in garden, attached to driven steel posts with stainless steel wire. After two years thin galvanized wire of fence is rusted and totally shot, winds have ripped fence apart. But the stainless wires are as bright and strong as the day I twisted them on. This product is totally inappropriate for outdoor use as-built. Stainless steel wires is required for this construction for outdoor use, galvanized is absolutely wrong.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I put this up over a rusty wire fence in my back yard, it attaches quickly with zip ties. The wire rusts away pretty quickly but the bamboo will stay in place for about 2-3 years before completely falling down. It's a good privacy screen to hide the neighbor's ugly yard. It's inexpensive compared to building a real privacy fence.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

The bamboo is structurally sound. the wire holding the pieces together is grossly inadequate.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This fence is a great privacy screen and background for planting beds. I used it to cover an ugly chain link fence. I simply tied it to the exixting fence, two rolls took about ten minutes, very easy! Wear gloves though as there are some sharp splinters.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

keep nosey neighbors at bay

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Provides privacy without the look of barrier fencing. I love the flexible border it provides.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I love the flexibility. Provides privacy without the barrier look. All at a fraction of the cost of traditional fencing.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

You know all that stuff you don't want to look at so you store it behind your garage? Well I see it from my backyard. This fencing solved that problem beautifully. I placed a second order and covered all of my chain link fence. I can still be neighborly and talk to everyone over the fence.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

great product, looks good, goes up easy and serves the purpose I purchased it for.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Looks like the yard got a big hug. My yard borders three other across and the back and one on the side. People use the back of their garages to store stuff they don't want to see. I get to see it all. 3 ft bamboo screens it all and I can still talk to neighbors over the fence. Makes my yard and all of our hard work a stand out. Looks great!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Really does a good job of screening out the neighbors landscaping which is different than mine but still lets us talk over the fence. Made the lawn look like I installed wall to wall carpeting.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I attached the bamboo to an existing metal fence for privacy. It's very attractive and has discouraged my dog from barking at the neighbors!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I like the look, but wish the measurements were closer. 12.5 feet is NOT 13

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Used it to block neighbor's barking dogs from mine. So far has been very effective, and looks so much nicer.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

we use the fence at our summer cottage for privacy and it works very well.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I bought this as a gift for my sister who wanted to add some more privacy to her yard and spruce up her patio area. The only thing that I was not too thrilled about was some of the bamboo slats looked a little worse for wear. Since it is going to sit in the rain and sun anyway it will eventually even out, I hope. But I was a bit disappointed.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I have the bamboo fencing up and it looks great in adding a finished looked to my yard and gardens. I couldn't be happier with the finished product. It looks like I hired a professional landscapping service.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

great price and really easy to install

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

have a handy man (too old to do stuff myself) who used it to decorate plywood ceiling of tiki bar set up next to fish pond... works out well..gives that tropical look...

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

It is exactly what we needed to cover up an old chain link fence and give our new landscape a contrasting background. The fence material does have gaps in between each piece, but we were not looking for total privacy and not block out everything. I did stain it with a waterproof stain to help extend it's life and it helped make it more attractive. I am hoping it will last for years

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I used this to cover the unattractive back of my neighbor's fence. It was easy to put up by myself and serves my purpose. I would not use it for creating privacy but that was not important for me.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Love the product. The neighbors saw it and are now purchasing for their roof deck! Best price around.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Used it to hide the saferty fence surrounding the pool. Looks great and easy to install.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Easy to install, will last awhile, gives a tropical feel to our pool area, installed it around the chainlink fence around our pool for more privacy. Great purchase for the money!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

great to block neighbors dogs-

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

ONLY drawback is that there is too much space between slats -- this limits use for shielding unsightly view of neighbor's property.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

The fencing is very unattractive, cheap looking, and difficult to set up. [...]

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This fence was very easy to install using the faux bamboo fence posts. That is once I figured out how to get the posts deep enough into the ground. So far the fence has stayed up and actually gives a nice type of shading in that corner of the yard. We used it to fill in a gap where one fence ended and another began. There used to be a garage in between but that was torn down. It is too early to know how the fence will stand up to weather. There have been a couple of semi-stormy days but nothing fierce just yet.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I bought this to keep the dog in. She could jump the fence and now we haven't had a problem.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I used this fence to hide an unattractive area between my garden and garage. It was easy to set up and stands up well to strong winds.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This product was exactly what we were looking for and about half the price. It hides the unsightly weeds in our neighbors yard and adds privacy to ours.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I use this product to protect my water garden from blowing leaves and other flying debris. It also provides an attractive backdrop and barrier to isolate the water garden and surrounding rockery.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This fencing is just right to give our side yard a bit of privacy and keep the neighbor's dogs out of our garden. We attached it to a wooden framework; five rolls went up in about three hours. It's not solid so the breeze still comes through but my tomatoe plants are safe this year!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This is the fourth season I have used this fencing to provide a decorative background for my garden and block out unsightly overgrown trees and bushes from my neighbors. An amazing difference.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

It beautifully defines the perimeter of my Japanese garden.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

MY SCREENED PORCH FACES THE STREET. THE FENCE GIVES SOME PRIVACY WHILE NOT BLOCKING THE VIEW. IT IS WEATHER RESISTANT, ATTRACTIVE AND ZEN-LIKE. BUT MY DOG CAN SEE THROUGH IT AND BARK AT PASSERS-BY.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I love it. It's just what I wanted. It screens my neighbor's trash can and recycling can. The neighbor even likes it from his side! I'm going to order another.
Great product!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I am using it behind a hedge that I am waiting to grow in. It is very attractive and worked perfectly for what I needed it for plus it keeps the animals out of the garden!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Attractive, long lasting and easy to use.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I back iron trellis with this fencing. Set against another wood fence, it fills the gaps for more privacy so that the dogs don't see more things to bark at. I also set a backed trellis behind some newly planted trees, plants for backdrop. You can split the fence into more sections and rewire the sections with the existing wire on the fence.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

My small garden which has a chain link fence at the end and a neighbor whose yard is neglected, I use the split bamboo fence as a privacy fence and it adds a great view when looking at my garden. Several years ago I purchased this same product and it is just now needing to be replaced since we have a lot of moisture in Washington State and I leave it up year round.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I bought fencing to hide part of neighbor's adjoining, deteriorating fence. Since I couldn't attach anything permanently, tying the bamboo fencing to their structures worked very well. I don't expect the bamboo to last more than a few years in our harsh midwest climate, but it is inexpensive and easily replaced-and it seems to be keeping the skunks and rabbits out of the yard.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I love this bamboo fencing. It's easy to put up by yourself. I tied it to existing wire fencing and suddenly had a much more private backyard. My two yard cats do not climb over the fence and it makes a great backdrop for my plants. I bought this same fencing last year and liked it so well, I decided to expand fencing this year. And last year's fence stilllooks great!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I've purchased say 5 of these fences, each for it's own year. Left outside it weathers poorly and if it's in a place where wind can get it, or snow can sit on it, it's doomed.

I recommend it for small spaces that are protected from wind/elements. Otherwise you buy one each year. Better to invest in longer term fences as I've spent say $400 and still need to replace...

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

While vacationing in Italy years ago we saw a carport covered with plastic and draped with willow fencing. We purchase some metal awnings headed for the junk yard and installed a section to cover a converted garage/pool house outdoor patio area. We attached the fencing using plastic ties to secure to the metal ribs. We then put in LCD lights and wrapped the underside of the metal awning with still more fencing. I must say it was better than we expected.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We used the willow fencing previously to screen our garbage cans. We're hoping that the split bamboo will last longer than the willow did, which was 4 years.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

The bamboo fencing is sandwiched inside horizontal redwood boards with a trellis on top. It's beautiful! Only negative is some mildewed areas.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I have a wire fence between mine and county owned property. Much honeysuckle and vines grow over that fence which try to invade my garden. I put up several panels of the split bamboo fencing which improved the look of the fence, provided a lovely backdrop to the garden, and even slowed down the advancement of those vines. I have 4 panels up so far and bought another 4 to complete the job.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This fence is no plain Jane! I have managed to turn the corner of my yard from the place where I had to look at my next door neighbor's non-running car collection into a calm spot with a serene beauty all of it's own. This fence is rustic but it also creates a pretty, sturdy backdrop to my potted plants and water feature. I plan to surround my entire yard in this fencing next year!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This was used to hide a block wall. It needed to be tall enough to meet up with the wood fence above wall. Unfortunately the way this bamboo is constructed the slats fall through their wires if not resting against the ground. This made affixing it to the wall nearly impossible. What I thought would be a 1/2 hour job, is still sitting unfinished after spending an 1 hour on one roll. I need to install 2 rolls. If it ever gets put up, it will look great. Basically I'm rebuilding the bamboo fencing to install. Very disappointing. I would only recommend if using it against the ground, immediately upon taking out of packaging...that's where the problem started.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We lash this fencing to the railing of an elevated deck at our lake house when either (or both) of our 1-year-old granddaughters are visiting. It's strong enough to keep them safe, and it blends with the outdoors in an attractive way. It's easy to work with, easy to store, economical and durable. You could stain or seal the back side if you really wanted to, and I probably would if we were going to leave it out in winter weather. It's not fancy, but it's not supposed to be. Just a good product for its intended use and for the money.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

easy to put up, attractive and still lets light into my garden.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We put this fencing up along one side of our property 6 years ago to block out a rental house. It added protection to our property and our dogs from weeds and blackberry growing through the chain link from an unkempt yard. It weathers nicely, has survived heavy Pacific winter rain since 2002 with another 5-6 years of life expected. We are ordering again to line the chain link on the other side of our property, as a barrier to wild blackberry attacking on that side. The fencing stands up to curious dogs trying to tear it apart to see what's on the other side. Great buy for the price.
Invest in the black cord to tie it to the chain link, it survives the rain, snow and dog paws - and makes a decorative design along the top and bottom edges.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This bamboo fence is so poorly constructed that it actually made me nervous that it was produced in a sweat-shop environment. The wires holding the bamboo together are only loosely wound. The bamboo is much more widely spaced than I expected. Looking at it, I imagine Gardeners' Supply has an ENORMOUS mark up on this product. If it had been much cheaper, I wouldn't be so disappointed.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

It makes a wonderful backdrop for a shade garden and it blocks my neighbors compost pile.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We purchased this fencing to put around our AC unit and trash can area. It is a nice addition to the backyard and hides the unsitely items we dont want to have to look at when enjoying the outdoors. Compared to buying fencing sections at a hardware store this was much cheaper, and easy to put up also.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

we use it for privacy and to try to block out pesticide/herbacide use from next door---it is very beautiful and fits into my garden ambience-----the wires holding it together need to be stronger

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

This lightweight bamboo fencing was easy to handle and install and provides a economical solution for blocking the view of our mulching area. However, the narrow diameter bamboo "slats" that are not closely placed won't provide the total privacy that a solid fence does. It is a quick, easy, economical solution for screening out an unsightly view.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

The bamboo was more rough than other bamboo fences I have bought, also the back side was more rough...tending to splinter

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

My husband installed the fence - he's the handyman, not me :)
We LOVE it - much cheaper than a privacy fence - we hope to move when we retire so didn't want to invest in a privacy fence. & MUCH MORE
attractive than our wire fence that it covers. We're very pleased w/ it.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I like this as a backdrop but the backer it is being attached to has to be perfectly straight or this "bends" with it and doesn't look attractive. The lashing cord that I got with it breaks so I ended up using twine to tie it off to the chain link fence behind it.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We have 1 acre lot and it is hard to keep all neat. I purchased this to fence out wooded area and grassy area in back. It looks very nice and it was easy to setup. Could get splinter while handling, so be careful.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We purchased this to hide some blocks in the back corner of our yard. It turned out to not only do that but also has added a nice look to the backyard and we are now decorating around it with the fence being the focal point!!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

To block neighbor's yard.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

We have purchased this product before. The quality has diminished significantly. The wire is poorly twisted around the slats and there is less coverage for privacy. We are unsure that it will last well.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Used to protect sub-tropical plants during winter. Most survived. Fence held up well even though a tree fell on it.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Have had many positive comments on the bamboo fence and people think it looks great in the yard.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I attached this fencing to chain-link to provide screening from a neighbor's "less than ideal" garden (many weeds). I used plastic cable-ties to attach it to the fence. It has held up fairly well, with a little weathering, for three years. I recently purchased more fencing to extend the privacy screen.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I ordered these screens to enclose a small urban brick patio. They attached easily to existing low wire fencing, look fabulous and have provided increased privacy from neighboring townhouses. I love what it has done to make an attractive backyard retreat in the midst of the city--for a reasonable price and without having to apply for a permit!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I LOVE the ORGANIC look it provides the yard (attached to my black vinyl chain link fence) as well as providing some privacy. It took a few experiments to find a good economical way to attach to my fence; it would be helpful to recommend using those plastic safety straps (which is what I used). It was a bit tedious/time-consuming to attach; however I had 200 ft to cover!

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Fine for making shade. Won't last more than one season. Wire rusts and breaks easily.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I used it to screen a chain link dog pen. Worked and I like the oriental look.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

The fencing is decorative, easy for one person to set up, and just the right touch for privacy.

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

Used the fence to define two seperate garden areas

Comments about Split-Bamboo Fencing:

I bought this to go behind some bushes to hide my heat/air unit since our bushes didn't quite bush out like they should have. It looks great and was easy to set up. I haven't had it long enough to see how it holds up in weather but so far so good.
