This bamboo fence is a GAME CHANGER!  I am so very glad I bought it and it works GREAT as a barrier and privacy screen. No more nosy neighbors!!! Full disclosure - I had to build a wooden support beam behind the bamboo fence for the free-standing portion of the wall.  I used wire, twine, and finishing nails to put the bamboo fence on my support structure.  The bamboo fence comes in a roll that you just unroll, place it where you need it to go, then cut it to fit.  I wholeheartedly recommend this fence!
