In Japan, bamboo has been used as fencing for centuries, and this material has only recently become popular in the U.S. for flooring. This eco-friendly material has a serene presence, and it can be constructed into beautiful designs.

Bamboo has a natural color and texture that can be elegant yet simple enough to compliment any type of landscaping. Similar to wood and chain fencing, bamboo can bring privacy to your yard. However, this material is more environmentally friendly, and it can set a peaceful ambiance in your yard.

Bamboo fencing comes in either rolls or panels, and it can be constructed in the following ways:

• Misu is a screening fence with horizontal slats and vertical posts support the slats.
• Kenninji is a more classic style, which uses half-round rails and dark twine to close up gaps.
• Twig fence is a more casual look that looks like bundles of bamboo twigs.
• Yotsume is made up of horizontal rails, which are held up by pickets.
• Royanji is a short fence designed for gardens, and it’s made from narrow bamboo shoots.
