FAQs
What is the average width of each bamboo cane?
The average width of each red bamboo cane is approximately 25mm, with individual canes varying between 20mm and 30mm.
How is the bamboo screening held together?
The individual red bamboo canes are woven together using galvanised wire.
What is the best way to attach this screening?
It can be attached using galvanised wire, cable ties, or screws/nails. For best results, especially in windy conditions, use galvanised wire and ratchet strainers.
Is this screening suitable for outdoor use in all weather?
The screening is constructed from natural bamboo, which provides resistance to strong winds and heavy rain. However, secure fixing is essential for optimal performance in adverse weather.
Can I use this screening to create shade?
Yes, it can be used over arbours and pergolas to create soft shaded areas.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
The dimensions of this specific roll are 5 meters in length by 2 meters in height.
How can I maintain the colour of the screening?
To help maintain the colour, you can periodically apply a suitable bamboo sealant or natural oil, particularly in areas with strong sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Screening appears loose or unstable
Reinforce attachment points using additional galvanised wire, cable ties, or screws. Ensure any strainers are properly tightened.
Colour fading over time
Apply a suitable bamboo sealant or natural oil periodically to protect the canes from UV exposure and retain colour.
Mildew or mold growth
Ensure adequate air circulation behind the screening. Clean affected areas with a mild solution of water and vinegar, then rinse and allow to dry completely.
Cane damage from extreme weather
Inspect regularly after storms. Replace individual damaged canes if possible, or consider replacing sections of the roll for a uniform appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the bamboo screening, ensure you have a stable structure to attach it to, such as wooden fences, stone walls, or existing wire fencing. Use galvanised wire, strong cable ties, or screws/nails for secure attachment. For optimal stability, especially in windy areas, it is recommended to use galvanised wire and ratchet strainers to keep the screening taut.
Compatibility: This screening is compatible with a wide range of garden structures including wooden fences, stone walls, chain link fencing, arbours, pergolas, and existing garden boundaries. It can also be used around planters and water features.
Care: As a natural product, the bamboo screening may benefit from occasional cleaning with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. While durable, to prolong its life and maintain its colour, consider applying a natural oil or sealant suitable for bamboo, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions. Ensure good air circulation around the screening to prevent moisture buildup.
