    Step-by-Step Guide to Bamboo Bliss

    • Measure Your Fence Area
      Use a measuring tape to measure the height and length of the area where you want to install the bamboo screening. This will help you determine how much bamboo screening you need to purchase.
      Common sizes include:

      • 1800mm height x 900mm width
      • 2000mm height x 1000mm width
      • 2400mm height x 1000mm width

    • Purchase Your Bamboo Screening
      Based on your measurements, buy the right amount of bamboo screening. Always get a little extra, just in case.

    • Prepare Your Tools and Materials
      Gather everything you need before starting, including bamboo panels, screws, and a drill. Pre-drill wherever screws will go for a smoother process.

    • Attach the Bamboo Screening to Your Fence
      Lay out your bamboo screening against the fence. Mark where you need to cut with a pencil or marker.
      Carefully cut the bamboo screening to size. Save as much of the decorative string as possible for re-tying after cutting.

    • Cutting and Securing Bamboo Screening
      For wooden fences with paling side:

      • Screw bamboo panels directly onto the fence using 65mm screws.

      For wooden fences with posts on your side:

      • Add rails at the same height as the rails on the panels. Use shorter screws like 35mm for this setup.

      For chain-link fences:

      • Secure the bamboo screening with zip ties at regular intervals. Ensure the posts are strong to handle wind stress.

    • Secure the Ends
      Check that every panel is securely fastened. Add extra screws or zip ties if needed.

    • Trim the Extras
      Trim any excess bamboo screening or cable ties for a neat and tidy appearance.

    • Enjoy Your New Bamboo Fence
      Step back and admire your work. Add some big plants for extra flair and enjoy your refreshed outdoor space.

    Tips for Success:

    • Work with a friend to make the installation easier and more enjoyable.
    • Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and tools.
    • Take your time and enjoy the process.
