Bamboo is a fast-growing plant, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a quick-growing hedge. Its use extends beyond just planting; split bamboo screening can enhance privacy in overlooked gardens, improve the appearance of walls and fences, and even provide shade in garden structures like pergolas and arbours. This versatile plant has a small footprint but grows tall and straight, offering a thick screen due to its dense, small leaves.
Bamboo screening is particularly effective for concealing less attractive garden areas, such as old sheds or compost heaps. It comprises vertical split bamboo canes of varying thickness, held together with horizontal galvanised wires. It’s a heavy-duty option that can be attached to existing fences for additional screening or height. This kind of natural fencing is not only a practical windbreak but also adds an aesthetically pleasing, natural element to any garden space.
To create a bamboo tower in your garden, form a circle of three to six poles and lean them towards the center. When installing bamboo screening, it’s essential to use a sharp spade for digging and to secure the screening to fences with screws for stability. Clumping bamboo can reach heights of up to 5 metres, offering instant privacy when purchased as an established plant from garden centres.
When selecting bamboo screening, consider its robustness and eco-friendliness. The Thick White Bamboo Screening Roll is an excellent choice for its durability and environmental benefits. However, note that delivery may require assistance due to the size and weight of the product. Bamboo reed fencing is an affordable option that retains natural light while providing screening, and it can be installed over old fencing for a refreshed look.
