Review on Create A Natural Barrier In Your Garden With Gardman R647 Split Bamboo Fencing - 5 Feet by Joshua Pilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for balconies!

We purchased 2 of these to line the railing after our cat fell off the 3rd story balcony! Wish we would've spent money on these sooner instead of a ridiculous vet bill. Works great as a privacy fence too, so we no longer have to see everyone walking in and out of the building. There is thin spacing in-between each bamboo piece, so light is still let in. Our cats can also still look through it, but it keeps them contained. This height was perfect for us as it comes up about 3" higher than the balcony railing, so the cats cannot jump on or over it. This is better than lattice or netting because the cats cannot climb it. We have it secured with zip ties for easy removal during the winter when it will snow. We have it facing inwards, so we don't have to see the ugly metal railing as well. Can still put railing planters facing the outside. I highly recommend this for pet or kid safety and privacy. It took me about 45 minutes to tie up 26' of it by myself.

Pros
  • Provides a natural backdrop for outdoor events
Cons
  • The natural color of the bamboo may not match well with other existing structures or materials in the garden
