Existing fence? Bamboo Fence Panels Brisbane are a way of adding appeal to your existing structure instead of completely replacing it. Existing timber fences, chain-link fences, and robust brick walls can be fastened to these to screen off an ugly patch, section, space or just bring privacy in.
Why not use bamboo for the entire fence?
It takes less time to fix it, because the existing fence takes the place of support. Furthermore, the additional structure gives a textured layer which covers up any imperfections in the original fence. Bamboo is a natural-looking material that complements Coastal, Tropical, Modern & Rustic type garden settings and can be found in natural, black, mahogany, burnt & retro-blend finishes. The finish you choose should correspond to your landscape theme.
What should be done to prepare the chain link fence?
Bamboo Fence Panels can be mounted effectively onto a strong chain link fence provided appropriate galvanised tie wire is used when installing. Check posts and mesh for any loose or damaged areas of each; you will have to hold bamboo rolled, level as it is fitted. Ensure the bottom of the roll is not within 25 mm of the ground surface to avoid contact with dampness. A helper can hold the roll for stability as attachments are made.
How should bamboo panels be fixed to chain links?
Utilise 14-16 gauge tie wire, galvanised so no rust may arise; fix this using every couple of meshes. Utilise different fixing sites, mixing points over the middle and over the top parts of bamboo. Hold bamboo straight until completed. Snip the edges of wires used as each is inserted to decrease the size of protruding pieces.
Will it stand on a timber fence?
It can, if the timber structure below it is sufficiently robust. Check posts, rails, and boards for rot, movement, and severe damage before work can commence. Position the roll against the fence with ends slightly raised from the ground.
Bamboo Panels Brisbane should be pre-drilled with 50-65 mm wood screws when fixed to existing rails or robust boarding.
Vary fixing points from top to bottom for an equal finish.
What would happen if the fence had brick or blockwork on it to use?
For this kind of wall, extra support will need to be obtained in the form of a fixing frame. Use prepared timber rails on the top and bottom sides of the wall, firmly screwed in with suitable masonry fixings and ensuring they are level before securing them with bamboo. Drill the bamboo posts with a small bit, then screw them from the outer shell to the frame (remember to pre-drill to reduce the level of splitting). Use deck screws at approximately 300mm intervals along rails.
What should homeowners look for before fixing bamboo panels?
The structure needs to support increased load and wind loads. Is the fence post wobbly? Is the brickwork cracked, corroded or rotten, or solid and strong? You must research current fence-height and design regulations prior to any changes.
Avoid contact with ground and standing water.
Investigate for wear in fastenings, bamboo (e.g., damage, growth of mould, moisture accumulation in both).
Will bamboo provide privacy?
Bamboo will help block direct views between open fence panels when planted close together, and can help cover old, broken boundary fences. Privacy provided by the bamboo will be dependent on bamboo spacing, height of the fence, the viewer’s position, and the integrity of the fence.
How do I get started?
Select your fixation method based on the material of your current fence. Use wire to fix bamboo to chain link fence and wood screws for timber fences, and timber rails on masonry to attach to brick or block walls. Precision when measuring, pre-drilling, and ensuring things are level and have some ground clearance will lead to a more professional finished product.
