🪵 How to Choose the Right Bamboo Fence Panel for Your Perth Property

Introduction
Bamboo fencing is an increasingly popular choice among Perth homeowners seeking a sustainable, visually appealing, and cost-effective solution for privacy and outdoor styling. However, with various styles, sizes, and finishes available, selecting the right bamboo fence panel can be overwhelming. This guide will help you make an informed decision based on your space, aesthetic preferences, and functional needs.

1. Define the Purpose of Your Fence

Before selecting a Bamboo Fence panel, consider your primary goal:

• Do you want to block a neighbour’s view?
• Enclose a pool, alfresco, garden or side of house area?
• Add warmth and texture to your garden?

Your objective will determine the ideal panel height, density, and whether you need full privacy.

2. Select the Appropriate Size 

Most Bamboo Fence panels come in a standard size of 1800mm high x 1000mm wide, Exotic Imports stocks multiple sizes in store, see our website www.exoticimports.com.au
For maximum privacy or boundary screening, choose the best height and perspective to suit the area.

3. Choose a Bamboo Colour That Enhances Your Space

Both Natural and Dark (Black) bamboo panels offer visually appealing results, when installed correctly.

• For small areas such as courtyards or balconies, Natural bamboo (with its warm golden tones) is often the better choice—it helps maintain a sense of openness.
• Dark bamboo creates a bold, architectural look suited to modern spaces or contrast-heavy designs.

4. Understand the Aesthetic Differences

Natural Bamboo: With its warm, golden tones, natural bamboo enhances tropical, Balinese, coastal, and traditional gardens, offering a relaxed, organic feel. When paired with clean landscaping lines or minimalist features, it can also deliver a sleek, architectural effect, making it equally suited to modern or contemporary settings.

Dark Bamboo: Rich in tone and visually striking, dark bamboo brings a bold, modern edge. It’s ideal for urban, minimalist, or architectural landscapes, where strong contrast and defined geometry are desired. Its refined finish also pairs well with timber, stone, or steel design elements.

 

5. Prioritise Treated Bamboo for Durability

Western Australia’s climate demands durable materials. Ensure that the bamboo panels you purchase are kiln-dried to resist moisture and rot. This treatment significantly extends the life of your fence and minimises maintenance.

6. Consider Your Installation Surface

Different surfaces require different installation methods:

• Colorbond fences: Mount directly onto the colorbond fence with exterior metal screws or using horizontal timber battens and exterior wood screws.
• Hardiflex or Asbestos fences: Panels can be directly screwed into the timber battens on the Timber Frame installed in front of the existing fence.
• Brick walls: Install Timber Battens onto the brick wall using plugs or masonry fixings. Then screw the bamboo fence panels to the timber battens with exterior wood screws.

Knowing your surface in advance will help you purchase the correct fixings and hardware.
