Gardman R647 Split Bamboo Fencing, 5'

I rent my house and I have a small cement back yard which is attached to neighbors' houses on either side. The fence they have is a joke. It's a 3 foot iron fence that's falling apart. No privacy whatsoever and since neither of my neighbors keep their back yards very nice, it was also an eyesore for me to look at. I plant a garden, have the outdoor table and chairs and a small swimming pool for my dogs and I like decorating it to make it look nice back there.There's no way to have had a real fence put up since I'm just renting so I ordered something like this at the beginning of last summer, that bamboo fence was taller but the reeds woven to make the fence were thinner.My one dog managed to stick his nose through the fence in a couple of places because of stray cats he had to keep his eyes on. And during the winter the weather roughed up the fences pretty bad.I didn't take the old fence down but just laid this fence on top of it. And the bamboo is much thicker and a lot sturdier. I only did one side of my fence with this overlay because the otherside has been taken over by shrubbery growing out of control from neighbor's yard. (honeysuckle, so it's kind of nice)But there's a definite better quality to this fence than the other I had purchased. This one doesn't come up as high but my dog is not able to stick his nose through it. Hasn't even tried.These fences don't offer 100 percent privacy. But it sure does look nice and feels a lot more private than not having it up.If you're buying this because privacy is important to you than I wouldn't recommend this. It only creates the illusion of privacy but does hide eyesores pretty well, in spite being able to see through it a little.I think this fence will hold up to the winter weather a lot better than the other. I'll let you know.

The fence works well as a privacy screen in the winter campground. Sturdy but is wired lossly. Not solid. Will allow some wind to pass through.

We have dogs and wanted to add height to an existing chain link fence. This worked as expected. It is not a solid fence so you can see though it a little. It was easy to install. We are pleased with our purchase.

Bought several rolls for around our above ground pool. Took it down last year and stored it for this year. I don't recommend keeping it out all year as the weather will probably weaken the appearance and fade it. Ours did fade from being out last summer, but it still looks great and we get compliments on it all the time! Def improved the look of our gray Intex pool. We just secured it to our pool legs with zip-ties. It holds up really well and would buy again!

Utter garbage and a waste of money. Absolutely nothing like the picture. It is the Catfish of Amazon! The flimsy wiring that holds the snaggled bamboo slivers together is horrible. It offers little screening and looks horrendous. Steer clear!!

The picture is deceiving. I bought two of these. The bamboo was bent and sticking out of place in areas, mainly at the edges. The picture displays the bamboo nice straight, and even. So, it did not work well as fencing material--it was not aesthetically pleasing, but it worked wonderfully on top of my pergola. They were heavy enough to not blow off with wind gusts and they added much needed shade. I am giving it 3 stars because I was able to repurpose it.

I ordered this fencing to block out my neighbor's unkept back yard. I wired it to the chain link fence between our yards and although I knew it wasn't going to be total blockage, it was enough. I am a 61 year old single lady and I was able to carry it, unroll it, and wire all four 13' pieces to the fence in about 4 hours. I was very pleased with the finished look. It was more expensive than the reed fencing but was much sturdier and was thicker.

Well, it is pretty cheaply made and if used as a fence, it would simply blow over in the first wind. However, I bought this as a cover for my pergola instead of a more expensive replacement tarp. And it works just fine for that purpose as it is lightweight and acts as a great shade block. I rated it two stars overall because the price is exorbitant considering the product which grows as a weed in some countries. I guess the shipping is factored into that as it is a bulk mailing. Had it not been for the price, I would have bought 2 of them.

We are using this as a privacy wall on our back deck. Works perfectly and looks good.

Arrived quicker than expected. Easy to put up and works exactly as expected.

I ordered three sets originally from a competitor and are very happy overall with those ones, I ordered this one hopeful it would be as nice. It is ok, but is not quite as nice... In fairness, it will reach the length as advertised, however that means it is fully stretched to do so and leaves lots of gaps and is not as private as competitor. Its good, but not great...if you want privacy order more and don't stretch it. Colour was spot on as shown here. Easy to install with zip ties. Quick note, I had a set from 8 summers ago...they lasted 7 full seasons before having to be replaced...pretty good considering the winters we get.

This worked well, it gives me a little more privacy for my pool.

This screen is so cheaply made and looosly woven with thin cheap metal wire, it won't last a season! I doubt it will survive mounting to my fence!!! I've returned it because it is not worth the money!!
