After growing climbers on fence using a bunnings workshop idea (few years ago) and getting a fountain from my mate who didn't bother to fix it and grabbing a clearance on the Vinayak statue, I felt something was still missing. It was the bamboo fencing.
Bamboo Fence
Galvanized wire
Self drilling nuts
Pliers
drill
cutter
Plan how many lengths of bamboo fencing you need and purchase them. Though they are advertised as 2m length I found it to be only 1.8 unless you stretch them thin (So plan for it)
Use a self drilling screw and screw it half way in. Do a turn of galvanized wire clockwise (I think it was 1 mm or less thick. You don't need anything thicker than that). Then tighten the screw and the turn will tighten the wire. When going to other end of the fence leave a little slack in the wire that will get picked up when you tighten the screw.
Use the wires as the mounting points for the fence and tie them with the same galvanized wire at every 50 cm for it to be sturdy and not impacted by winds. When joining the new bamboo fence there is a chance that the wire used in the fence would be free at the end that you can tie to the other fence on that is already installed (giving it more sturdiness)
Hello @J-P
Thank you for sharing the steps and materials for your Bali fence project. It looks very tropical, and I feel relaxed already. It is a sight better than the cold metalic surface of the steel fence.
