This is an example of the Maya fence in panels 6'x8' installed with cedar posts. Definitions Posts are vertical members which support the panel and are attached to both edges of the panel. Normally the posts are set in the ground. Locally procured cedar or pressure treated posts are required.
Rails are horizontal members which capture the panel body material.
The body material for the Yucatan Bamboo Fence is formed of compressed bamboo branch material. Pickets are vertical members which do not support the panel and exist between the posts. They may capture the body material, but are always a part of the artistic design. Whole poles are full round poles used just as they are harvested, cured, and cleaned. Half rounds are formed by ripping the whole poles from end to end.
