Bamboo Fence?

I bought a roll of 7' tall x 8' wide bamboo (1" dia). I put it on the support properly - pre drilled holes etc. The problem is I haven't even gotten the panel put up and the bamboo is cracked. It didn't crack where the screws went in. I am so frustrated. I expected to have to replace it in 5-7 years but not after 4 months.





I am desperate for help with this. Did I just get some bad bamboo ? Would that Iron bamboo have worked better?

Bamboo Fence?
it depends, bamboo cracks but even when it does its still pretty tough.
Reply:Bamboo cracks, it's in its nature, you can't avoid it. the metal stuff looks cheesy. I suggest a different material. Possibly ceramics.
Reply:You should put up the role out metal fence first, then just attached the bamboo fence with twisty ties, that's what my husband did. Ours looks great.
