How to Make Bamboo Fencing

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Dig holes that measure 1-foot deep and a minimum of 4 feet apart, using a spade or post-hole digger.
2

Insert the bamboo posts in the holes. Use a string to ensure the tops are level. Tamp down post holes after filling.
3

Mark the inside of the posts at 6, 12 and 24-inch intervals from the top. Drill pilot holes through the posts at each marking to keep the bamboo from splitting.
4

Attach your keyhole saw to a drill and bore out the holes. When the bit is in the hole increase power slowly and drill completely through the post. Repeat for each post.
5

Hammer 24-inch long rebar into the ground to secure the posts. With each post over the rebar push down firmly until the rebar is through the bamboo's diaphragm.
6

Cut the straightest canes for the cross boards to match the inside dimensions of the bamboo fence's panels. An extra inch must be allowed for the bamboo to be inserted ?-inch into the post. Once you know the position of each piece drill a ?-inch hole in each post.
7

Insert the crosspieces. When in place, rotate each one until straight. Nail to the post with a nail long enough to penetrate the post. Avoid striking the bamboo with the nail or it may crack. If you are having difficulty installing a crossbar, enlarge the hole with a wood rasp.
8

Tie on the vertical canes. Use a string to ensure they are level. Trim the cane facing upward to then nearest joint end.
