Natural and synthetic bamboo fences
Natural bamboo fences and synthetic bamboo fences differ in many ways, as follows:
Material property
Natural bamboo fence:
Advantages: Natural bamboo is a natural material, has good toughness and elasticity, can withstand a certain degree of bending and deformation and is not easy to break. Its texture is natural and beautiful, giving a simple and natural feeling, which can add a pastoral atmosphere to the environment. Moreover, bamboo itself has certain breathability, allowing air and water to circulate freely.
Disadvantages: The durability of natural bamboo is relatively poor, and it is easily affected by natural factors such as insects, decay and weathering (weathering, erosion). In the process of long-term outdoor use, regular maintenance and maintenance may be required, such as painting anti-corrosion paint, to extend its service life.
Synthetic bamboo fence:
Advantages: Usually made of plastic, resin and other materials after processing, with good corrosion resistance and weather resistance, can resist ultraviolet, rain, chemical erosion, not easy to fade, deformation and damage, long service life. The color and texture of the synthetic bamboo fence can be manually designed and adjusted, with high consistency and customizability, to meet the needs of different customers.
Disadvantages: Compared with natural bamboo fences, the texture and touch of synthetic bamboo may be lacking, lacking the natural charm of natural materials. In addition, some low-quality synthetic bamboo fences may release harmful substances under high temperature or strong light, posing potential threats to the environment and human health.
Appearance performance
Natural bamboo fence: the color is more natural, usually showing the green or light yellow of the bamboo itself, with the passage of time, the color will gradually become darker, forming a unique sense of antiquity. Its texture is delicate and irregular, and each bamboo has its own unique texture and knot, which has high artistic value.
Synthetic bamboo fence: bright and uniform color, can be made into a variety of colors according to demand, such as dark green, brown, etc., to simulate the color of natural bamboo. The texture is relatively regular and neat, lacking the natural changes and uniqueness of natural bamboo fences, but it is neater and more unified in the overall appearance.
Installation and maintenance
Natural bamboo fence: The installation process is relatively simple, and the bamboo can generally be fixed together by binding, nailing and other ways. However, since there may be some differences in the length and diameter of bamboo, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments and cuts during the installation process to ensure the flatness and stability of the fence. In terms of maintenance, it is necessary to check the condition of bamboo regularly, deal with problems such as moth decay and decay in time, and regularly clean and paint anti-corrosion paint.
Synthetic bamboo fence: installation is more convenient, its material weight is light, easy to carry and install, usually can use screws, fasteners and other connectors to fix. Maintenance costs are low, only regular cleaning can be done, without special maintenance such as anti-corrosion treatment.
Price cost
Natural bamboo fence: The raw material bamboo is relatively easy to obtain, the price is relatively low, but due to its relatively simple processing process, and the need for a certain amount of anti-corrosion treatment and other additional processes, so the overall cost may vary depending on the specific processing technology and quality requirements.
Synthetic bamboo fence: The production process requires the use of chemical raw materials and complex processing technology, so its production cost is relatively high. However, due to its long service life and low maintenance costs, in the long run, its comprehensive cost may be comparable to, or even lower than, natural bamboo fences.
Environmental performance
Natural bamboo fence: Bamboo is a renewable resource, the growth rate is fast, planting and harvesting have less impact on the environment. The natural bamboo fence can be degraded naturally after being discarded and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment.
Synthetic bamboo fence: the production process will consume a certain amount of energy and chemical raw materials, and it is difficult to degrade naturally after waste, if not handled properly, it may cause some pollution to the environment. However, some high quality synthetic bamboo fences can be recycled and reused to reduce the environmental impact.
