FAQs
How do I cut the screening roll to size?
You can cut the screening roll using a strong pair of garden shears or a fine-toothed saw. It's best to cut between the vertical bamboo canes and secure the cut edge immediately with wire or ties to prevent unraveling.
What is the lifespan of this bamboo screening?
With proper installation and care, and depending on local climate conditions, the bamboo screening can last several years. Applying sealant can help extend its lifespan.
Can this be used vertically or horizontally?
This screening is designed for vertical installation, following the orientation of the slatted bamboo canes.
Is the wire used to bind the bamboo rust-proof?
The screening is bound with galvanized wire, which provides resistance to rust. However, over prolonged exposure, some weathering may occur.
What is the primary benefit of using bamboo screening?
The primary benefits are its natural aesthetic appeal, durability, eco-friendliness, and its ability to provide privacy and shade effectively.
Does the brown colour fade significantly?
Like most natural materials exposed to sunlight, the brown colour may lighten over time. Applying a UV-protective sealant can help mitigate this.
Troubleshooting
Screening is unstable in wind.
Add more galvanized garden staples, ties, or wire to secure it firmly to the support structure at more frequent intervals. Ensure the underlying structure is also sound.
Bamboo is starting to fade.
Apply a specialized bamboo sealant or oil suitable for outdoor use annually to protect the material and maintain its colour.
Moisture seems to be trapped.
Ensure there is adequate airflow behind the screening. Avoid placing it directly against damp surfaces without a gap for ventilation.
Minor cracks appear on bamboo.
Small cracks can occur naturally as bamboo acclimatizes. This is usually superficial and does not affect structural integrity. Ensure the bamboo is not constantly wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Unroll the bamboo screening on a flat surface. Ensure the area where it will be installed is clear.
- Positioning: Place the screening roll against the existing fence, wall, or structure.
- Securing: Use galvanized garden staples, ties, or wire to securely fasten the bamboo canes to the support structure at regular intervals (top, middle, and bottom). For added stability, especially in windy areas, consider using additional fixings along the length of the screen and at the base.
Compatibility:
This screening is compatible with most existing garden structures including wooden fences, brick walls, metal frames, arbours, and pergolas. Ensure the support structure is sturdy enough to hold the screening.
Care:
- Cleaning: To maintain appearance, periodically brush off dirt and debris with a stiff brush. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Maintenance: While durable, natural bamboo may gradually weather. For extended lifespan and to preserve colour, consider applying a specific bamboo sealant or oil annually, particularly in very exposed conditions. Ensure good air circulation around the screen to prevent moisture buildup.
