8. Installing a Freestanding Bamboo
Fence
 Construction of fencing frame :-
 It is the most important step in this process. The construction of fence frame will
depend on the size of your bamboo fence and your desired look and feel.
 The goal of the frame is to provide a mount for your bamboo fencing roll that can
securely stand up on its own.
 This will consist of a two-by-four structure that provides vertical and horizontal
stability for your fence roll.

9.  Pre-drill holes in your bamboo fencing :-
 Once the frame is constructed, it is ready to attach the fencing.
 Pre-drilling holes in the fencing will prevent breaking or cracking when the
final mounting screws are attached to hold your fence in place.
 These pre-drilled holes should be about every 12 inches to ensure your bamboo
fence roll is stable.
 Attach your fencing to the frame using mounting screws :-
Use deck screws to attach the fence to your fence frame via the pre-drilled holes.
