How long do natural bamboo fences last?
Unlike other wooden fences, bamboo fences are free of toxic deposits and can help prevent biodegradation. Therefore, the natural durability of the true bamboo is weak. For most bamboo fences, they only last 2 years, while for treated bamboo fences, they can last 5-6 years. Special chemical treatment of bamboo poles is essential, but still can't keep your bamboo fence beautiful for decades.

Why does bamboo weather?
Like any other wood material used for outdoor fencing, bamboo will weather over time, lose its color and divide.
Weathering of bamboo begins due to the interaction of different climatic conditions, such as differences in climate and relative humidity.
Repeated humidification and drying of exposed bamboo creates tiny cracks in the surface of the bamboo. Ultraviolet radiation causes the breakdown of the cellulose layer, and finally, wind and dust particles produce sandblasting effects on the bamboo surface. The combination of these factors will lead to weathering of outdoor bamboo fence products.
The large amount of starch in bamboo makes it extremely attractive to molds, fungi, termites, and mildew. Unfortunately, they do a lot of damage during drying, storage, and subsequent application. Bamboo also has negligible waxes, resins, and tannins, but these are not toxic enough to improve their natural durability.
How to treat bamboo fence?
Due to the poor durability of bamboo rods, they should be treated shortly after harvesting to prevent potential insect infection. One of the most popular and effective preservation methods is to impregnate bamboo fibers with a mixture of borax or boric acid minerals.
Once all the sugars in the bamboo fibers have been replaced by salt, they become immune to insects. Therefore, if the natural bamboo rod is not allowed to come into direct contact with sunlight, rain or soil, the service life of the treated bamboo fence can reach 10 years or more. However, treated bamboo fences are still fragile if exposed to sunlight and tropical humidity.
How long does bamboo therapy work?
Most bamboo treatments use a clear coating or bamboo sealant to seal the bamboo. This chemical coating prevents the bamboo from coming into contact with air and humidity. However, the coating can also fade and weather.
After a year, moist air or rain will begin to penetrate the bamboo, and mold is inevitable. When using bamboo poles outdoors, customers require additional maintenance and chemical spray care every year.

Why do we develop synthetic bamboo fences?
Over the past year, we have received a large number of inquiries for long-term alternatives to synthetic bamboo fencing. Most of the inquiries came from resort owners, theme parks, zoos and restaurants. Their hotels or resorts and themed restaurants have installed and decorated natural bamboo fences throughout the hotel. But, unfortunately, after 2-3 years, they all start to fade, discolor and mold. The price of natural bamboo fence is very cheap, but the installation cost and maintenance cost are a lot. This is why they are looking for synthetic alternatives and why we are developing artificial plastic bamboo screens.
