How to Frame a Rolled Bamboo Fence

Dig holes 36 inches deep with a fence post hole digger or shovel spaced every 4 to 6 feet apart. Use a carpenter’s level to check that the holes are straight up and down.

Place 2 scoops of gravel in the bottom of each hole with a shovel. This improves drainage around the fence post so water does not puddle around the post. Overly wet and soft ground causes fence posts to loosen and fall over, which destroys part of the fence.

Set the pressure-treated 4-inch by 4-inch post in the holes. The posts need to be as tall as the rolled bamboo fence plus 24 inches more. Use the level to make sure the posts are straight. Pack soil or gravel around the posts so the ground around the wood is compact.

Cut the pressure-treated 1-inch by 2-inch wood rails with a saw. Use a measuring tape and mark the cut line on the rail. The rails must touch in the center of the posts. Attach the top rail to the first two posts with a nail gun. Nail the bottom rail 2 inches from the ground and attach the center rail. Add the other rails to the rest of the fence frame sections.

Place the rolled bamboo fencing against the fence and staple the end to the rails starting at the bottom and working your way upward. Line up the bottom of the bamboo fencing with the bottom of the lowest rail. Use galvanized heavy-duty staples and a staple gun. Place the staples over the top of the wire holding the bamboo pieces together to hide the staples.
