    If you're planning to buy a bamboo fence , you've probably seen a lot of options and possibilities. But what's the best choice?

    Bamboo fences are becoming increasingly popular, not only because they are beautiful but also because of their sustainable and environmentally friendly properties. However, there are so many different designs, colors, and sizes available, making the right choice isn't always easy.

    At Masters of Bamboo, we're happy to help you get started, so we've put together this simple selection guide. Choose what applies to you and discover which bamboo fence suits you best.

    The Freestanding Bamboo Fence

    If a freestanding bamboo fence is going to be placed between you and your neighbors, it's important that it looks the same on both sides. When installing a bamboo fence between you and your neighbors, a fixed bamboo screen is a likely option. These are mounted between the garden posts and provide a sturdy bamboo fence with minimal visibility.

    Fixed bamboo screens are usually made of thick poles to ensure sufficient strength. If you don't like the look of this, or your neighbors prefer a different fence, you can opt for a bamboo mat roll , bamboo slatted screen, or halved bamboo fences. To install these, you'll first need to build a frame from garden poles and planks onto which you'll attach the bamboo. This gives your neighbors the choice of how their fence will look—whether it's bamboo or wooden—you decide.

    Renovating an Existing Fence

    Renovating an existing fence is a good option if you have a fence that still has some life left in it, or a metal fence in a new development, for example. Because the base of the fence is still sturdy, it's perfectly suitable for cladding.

    This way, you can affordably renovate your fence and create a bamboo one. An added benefit is that you can customize the look of your bamboo fence without affecting the neighbors' view.

    Bamboo Fence in Different Heights or Sloping

    In some situations, it's fun or desirable to play with heights, as is often seen in backyards or waterfront homes. The first few bamboo fence sections are 180 or 200 cm high, after which they either taper off or alternate with a low bamboo fence. This way, you enjoy privacy in one part of your garden, but also have the opportunity to chat with the neighbors.

    Another reason to make a section of your bamboo fence a little lower is the view or the location where you place it. Lower bamboo fences are often installed near water or senior housing to allow for a view over the fence or for the social aspect.

    Make your own bamboo fence

    Another fun option is to build your bamboo fence from individual bamboo poles. These can be placed in the ground or concrete at different heights. If you place each pole at a different height, your bamboo fence will have a very natural and playful effect. You can determine the diameter and length of the poles yourself, giving you great flexibility in creating your bamboo fence's look.

    You can also create a bamboo fence by using bamboo poles vertically. This way, you can choose from various diameters and lengths to determine the height and length of your bamboo fence. By playing with the lengths and diameters, you can create a unique bamboo fence that you can't buy off the shelf.

    Making a Round Fence from Bamboo

    You can create a round garden fence with bamboo in various ways. This can be achieved with a bamboo mat, bamboo slats, or individual bamboo poles. For example, a round bamboo fence can be a nice addition to a jacuzzi or outdoor shower.

    Bamboo Fences Extra High

    By default, you're not allowed to build a bamboo fence between or behind your house any higher than two meters. In front of your house, the maximum height is one meter. However, there are situations where you need a high fence, for example, to cover a shed or close off a covered area.

    Extra high bamboo fences are available especially for these applications and can also be made from individual bamboo poles.

    Van klimplant tot kunstwerk: dit kun je met tonkin bamboe

    From climbing plant to artwork: this is what you can do with Tonkin bamboo

    When you think of bamboo poles , you often think of the vegetable garden. But did you know they're useful in so many more situations? This Tonkin bamboo is so versatile that it's used in gardens as well as in creative projects, festivals, and art installations. In this blog post, we'll take you through 8 uses for Tonkin bamboo. These garden stakes are practical, creative, and sustainable. One thing's for sure: once you've discovered the power of bamboo, you'll never want to be without it. 1. Climbing supports in the vegetable garden The most common use: vegetable garden stakes for climbing plants. Beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, or peas all need support to grow upwards. With a few Tonkin stakes and some rope, you can easily build an A-frame, wigwam, or trellis structure. Sturdy, natural, and perfect for long-term use. Larger structures like tomato trellis or bean arches are also easy to build with sturdy Tonkin stakes. 2. Tie up plants in ornamental gardens Even in the ornamental garden, vegetable garden stakes are your best friend. Tall flowers like dahlias, sunflowers, or larkspur can easily break in wind or rain. A subtle bamboo stake provides just the right amount of support without detracting from the look of your garden. Young trees or newly planted shrubs can also benefit from a sturdy bamboo stake for stability and straight growth. 3. Art installations and creative expressions More and more artists and designers are using Tonkin poles for temporary or permanent installations. Tonkin is also a reliable choice in theater for stage construction or costumes. The combination of flexibility, light weight, and natural appearance makes bamboo a popular material in the creative world. 4. Bamboo structures for festivals and events Festivals make extensive use of Tonkin poles for decor, routing, and temporary structures. From flagpoles to gates and frames for drapes or nets, Tonkin poles are perfect for any event. Their light weight makes them easy to transport and quick to set up, making them ideal for temporary settings. 5. Creative building with scouting Scouting is all about teamwork, being outdoors, and building. That's exactly what Tonkin poles are perfect for. From flagpoles and bridges to shelters, camp kitchens, and knapsacks: bamboo poles and a little rope can go a long way. They're also popular as educational tools: construction kits, elastic structures, and games like Mikado or balance exercises encourage technique, creativity, and teamwork. 6. DIY projects for home Tonkin also allows you to get creative on a smaller scale. Think of homemade wind chimes, wall art, plant stands, or even furniture. Combine bamboo poles with jute, leather, or cotton for a stylish, natural look. Children can also have fun with crafts, small constructions, or even their own mini tepee for dolls or stuffed animals. Or lanterns or even insect hotels – Tonkin is both versatile and aesthetically pleasing. 7. Support for nets and breeding cloths In the vegetable garden, you often want to protect your plants from birds, insects, or too much sun. Tonkin canes form a sturdy frame for fleece, mesh, or shade cloth. Their straight shape and varying lengths make them easy to adapt to any project. Combine multiple canes to create a stable, flexible canopy or shade trellis. 8. Educational applications in school gardens Tonkin canes are perfect for educational purposes: they're lightweight, safe, and easy to use. Children can use them to learn how to build structures, care for plants, or set up their own mini-greenhouses. They're also ideal for science lessons or sustainability topics. From building bridges and towers to learning about sustainable materials, bamboo makes theory tangible. The benefits of Tonkin bamboo Tonkin canes are straight, thin canes made from the Tonkin bamboo (Pseudosasa amabilis), a species of bamboo native to southern China. This bamboo is known for its smooth surface, straight growth, and exceptional strength. This makes Tonkin ideal for applications requiring a thin, strong cane that is lightweight and environmentally friendly. Why do so many people choose Tonkin bamboo over other materials?

    Bamboo cracking? Don't worry, here's what you need to know.

    Everything you need to know about the properties and cracks of bamboo sticks and bamboo poles. Bamboo is a beautiful, versatile, and sustainable natural product that's increasingly being used for fences, garden projects, decorative elements, and even structures. But because bamboo is a natural material, it has unique properties that can influence its use. A common question from customers is why bamboo poles and canes sometimes crack. In this blog post, we explain all about the properties of bamboo, why cracks occur, and why this isn't a cause for concern. Bamboo: A unique natural product No two bamboo poles or sticks are identical. This is because bamboo grows naturally and therefore exhibits natural variations in color, thickness, and shape. This is precisely what makes bamboo so authentic and unique. When using bamboo poles in a project, you may encounter slight color variations or variations in diameter, but this actually contributes to the natural look. Thickness and color differences in bamboo poles Bamboo poles are naturally thicker at the base than at the top. The stated size is always measured at the thickest end of the pole, so slight variations in dimensions may occur. Bamboo poles may also discolor slightly over time due to exposure to weather conditions. This is a normal process that enhances the charm of bamboo. Why do bamboo poles and bamboo sticks crack? A common characteristic of bamboo is the formation of vertical cracks. This occurs especially during hot and dry periods. The reason for this lies in bamboo's structure: the material contains moisture, and when the moisture content decreases rapidly due to heat and dryness, the outer surface shrinks faster than the inner surface. This tension difference leads to cracks. Does a crack affect the strength of bamboo? No, cracks in bamboo don't affect the structural strength or durability of the post. Even with larger cracks, bamboo remains strong and usable. During wet and colder periods, the cracks may narrow, but they won't disappear completely. This natural process is a characteristic of bamboo that you should consider when using it in your garden or construction. Bamboo and fences: Cracks in bamboo mats and rolls Bamboo fence posts and bamboo mats can also crack. This is completely normal and a natural characteristic of the material. Although the cracks are initially noticeable, they gradually become more normal over time and do not negatively impact the lifespan or strength of the bamboo fence. Bamboo remains a living natural product Because bamboo is a natural material, it continues to behave as such. Small variations in color, thickness, and texture give bamboo its unique appearance. This means no two bamboo structures will be exactly the same – and that's precisely the beauty of this sustainable material. Conclusion Bamboo canes and poles are a strong, durable, and environmentally friendly material with unique properties. While cracks, color variations, and thickness variations may occur, these do not affect the quality or strength of the material. By understanding why bamboo cracks and how to manage them, you can maximize the benefits of bamboo's natural beauty and versatility in your garden or building projects!
