Does anyone know anything about using bamboo to cover up an unplastered 2m x 8m garden wall? How long would it last and would it be hard to install myself?
We put some up 2 years ago but it has all come down this winter with all the wind etc & looks pretty crap.
I would recommend planting a laurel hedge or something for a longer term solution...................or going halves with next door neighbour and building solid wall for longer term! o sorry i see you have a wall.........why do you want to cover the wall up.............we used the bamboo for privacy to cover up a fence which was seethrough.........
The wall is not plastered and does not look very nice as the opposite wall is! I was thinking of getting it plastered and painting it but someone suggested the bamboo as a kind of camouflage against the bare blocks. I have seen photos and it looks very well. Only if it starts to disintegrate after only 2 years I`m not sure I will bother!
ah ok I see. Well i would not recommend the bamboo after what happened ours. Defo either plaster it, or why not plant some nice climbing plants up it - clematis etc.
Paint the wall. It does not need to be plastered. You may need to seal the wall first if it is a new wall. I painted mine, actually I ' plastered' it with paint. It made the garden so bright and threw light into my kitchen.
