Troubleshooting
Screening appears loose or sagging
Check and re-secure the attachment points. Ensure staples, wires, or ties are firm. If necessary, add more attachment points along the height and width of the screening.
Bamboo slats show signs of weathering (fading, mildew)
Clean the affected areas with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly. Allow to dry completely. Consider applying a bamboo sealant or protector suitable for outdoor use.
Attachment points are pulling out of the structure
Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for the material you are attaching to. For softer wood, consider using longer screws or washers to distribute the pressure. For walls, use suitable wall anchors.
Screening is difficult to cut to size
Use a strong pair of shears or a fine-toothed saw. Be cautious when cutting, as the internal wires can be sharp. Secure the cut end to prevent further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the screening roll, unroll it carefully. For wooden fences, use galvanized garden staples to secure the top and bottom edges. For other surfaces like stone walls or metal fencing, galvanized wire or sturdy cable ties can be used. Screws or nails can also be employed for a more permanent fixture. Ensure the surface you are attaching to is stable enough to support the weight of the screening.
Compatibility: This screening is highly compatible with a variety of existing garden structures, including wooden fences, stone walls, chain-link fencing, arbors, and pergolas. It can be cut to size if needed, though care should be taken to prevent fraying of the wires.
Care: To maintain its appearance and longevity, it is recommended to periodically check the securing wires and staples for rust or loosening. While bamboo is naturally resilient, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may lead to fading or mildew. Cleaning with a damp cloth and ensuring good air circulation can help prevent issues. Consider applying a protective sealant designed for bamboo if you wish to extend its lifespan and maintain its color.
