FAQs
What are the primary uses for this reed screening?
It's ideal for covering unsightly fences, creating privacy screens on patios or balconies, or adding a natural decorative element to garden spaces.
How do I attach the screening to my fence?
You can easily attach it using galvanized wire, strong cable ties, screws, or nails. Ensure it is securely fastened to a stable existing structure.
Is the reed screening suitable for windy areas?
While it can be used in windy areas, it must be very securely attached to a strong supporting structure. It is not free-standing and can be damaged by strong gusts if not properly secured.
Will the color fade over time?
As a natural product exposed to sunlight, some fading may occur over time. Applying a UV-resistant sealant can help preserve the color.
Can I paint or stain the reed screening?
Yes, you can paint or stain the reed screening. However, it's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure adhesion and the desired finish. Applying a sealant beforehand might improve durability.
Are there different sizes available?
Yes, this product is available in various dimensions, such as 4M x 2M, 4M x 1M, and 4M x 1.8M, to accommodate different project needs.
How is the screening treated?
All natural reed fencing has been fumigated to ensure it is bug-free.
Troubleshooting
Screening appears uneven in color.
This is natural for reed products. Variations in color are expected and part of the material's charm. If significant uniformity is desired, consider mixing sections from different rolls or painting/staining (test on a small area first).
Screening is difficult to cut to size.
Use sharp, heavy-duty shears, a fine-toothed saw, or wire cutters for the horizontal wires. Ensure the tool is appropriate for cutting bamboo or reed.
Screening is not staying taut.
Ensure you are using sufficient fixing points (wire, ties, screws) along the top, middle, and bottom. Re-tighten the fasteners and check that the attachment points on the supporting structure are secure.
Fumigation smell is noticeable.
The smell from the fumigation process is temporary. Allow the screening to air out outdoors for a few days before installation. The odor should dissipate naturally.

Secure the screening firmly using galvanized wire, strong cable ties, screws, or nails. Ensure it is taut and stable.

Care:
