The board fence around our house was pretty much rotted away. Chocolate could push his head through gaps in the fence and eat the hibiscus, which he loves.This week we put up a new fence.
We (read: Elaine) spent a lot of time researching all kinds of fences, looking for the best combination of cost, environmental friendliness, longevity and privacy. We (read: we) looked at another board fence, this time with treated wood, cyclone fence, even plastic lattice. Then Elaine found this bamboo on the Internet. It was comparable in cost to all the other acceptable possibilities, even with shipping from the mainland. At 8 feet high, it offered the privacy we were looking for. It is cured bamboo of a species insects don't usually like so it should last a long time. And it was pretty easy (albeit time consuming) to install.
So now we have this beautiful new bamboo fence around us. We've gotten tons of wonderful compliments on it. And we're really happy with it. The only problem now is we want redo Ola Lola's in all bamboo.
But that's a project (or projects) for another month.
