Bamboo Fencing Trend - Bamboo Shoots Make Perfect "Green" Fence Panels

Online, September 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency just announced that it will be constructing a bamboo fence around a major chemical compound as an environmentally friendly way to combat dust pollution.

Ken Peacock of Landmark Fencing wasn't surprised at all by this announcement.

"Previously in North America people have dismissed bamboo fencing as unconventional and light duty material, but contrary to that belief bamboo fences are actually resistant to rot, contain natural oils and are a very dense material. More traditional fence materials like cedar allow the moisture to easily penetrate which leads to problems down the line."

"It's not surprising that the EPA would make this decision."

"Bamboo fences are a win-win" adds Peacock. "You get a fence with a different look and do your part for the environment too? Bamboo Fencing is the ideal solution for many fence projects."

Those who recommend bamboo for fencing, also point out that bamboo fencing provides an excellent windbreak also making it the perfect surrounding for swimming pools and patios.

Ken Peacock agreed, "In fact, if you have a pool in your backyard you can say goodbye to shivering - a bamboo fence will definitely take the edge off the wind"

The verdict is clearly in, - bamboo fencing is here to stay as both a durable and green building material for flooring -- and fencing alike.
