FAQs
Is this product suitable for windy locations?
While the screening can add privacy, it is not inherently windproof. It must be securely attached to a strong supporting structure. In very windy areas, consider reinforcing the installation and potentially using shorter heights or doubling up layers for added stability.
Can I cut the screening to a specific size?
Yes, the screening can be cut to size using sharp shears or a saw. It is advisable to secure the cut edge with additional ties or fixings to prevent unraveling.
How do I clean the split reed screening?
Gently brush off loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water or abrasive cleaning agents.
What are the dimensions of the slats?
The product description notes individual vertical full-length (no breaks) bamboo slats. Specific slat width is not provided, but they are tied together with horizontal galvanized wires.
How long will this screening last?
The lifespan depends on environmental conditions and maintenance. With proper installation and annual sealing or treatment, it can last for several years. Exposure to harsh weather may reduce its longevity.
Can I use this on a balcony?
Yes, provided you have a secure railing or wall to attach it to. Ensure the fixings are strong and suitable for your balcony structure.
Is the wire used to tie the slats rust-proof?
The horizontal wires are described as galvanized, which provides a layer of protection against rust. However, prolonged exposure to moisture may eventually lead to minor surface rust over time.
Troubleshooting
Screening appears uneven in color.
This is normal for natural reed products. Color variations are inherent to the material and contribute to its natural aesthetic. Allow the screening to weather naturally or consider applying a consistent stain if a uniform color is desired.
Screening is not staying in place.
Ensure the screening is adequately and securely fastened to a robust supporting structure. Use more fixings, distributed evenly along the horizontal wires and vertical supports. Check that the supporting structure itself is stable.
Slats are splitting or breaking.
Inspect for signs of excessive tension or physical impact. Ensure the screening is installed without being overly stretched. If minor splits occur, they may not significantly impact function, but extensive damage may require replacement of that section.
Screening is sagging.
The screening requires more support. Reinforce the attachment points and add additional vertical or horizontal supports if needed. Ensure the top edge is securely fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Plan Placement: Determine the area where the screening will be installed. Ensure the existing surface is stable and suitable for attachment.
Measure and Cut: Measure the required length and height. Use sharp shears or a saw to cut the roll to size if necessary. Be mindful of potential unraveling and secure the cut end.
Attach Securely: The screening must be attached to a solid surface such as a fence, wall, or sturdy frame. Use appropriate fixings like screws, U-nails, or strong zip ties spaced at regular intervals along the horizontal wires and vertical slats. Ensure it is taut and stable.
Compatibility:
Compatible with existing fences, walls, pergolas, or custom-built frames.
Suitable for use in gardens, patios, balconies, and other outdoor areas.
Not designed for free-standing applications without structural support.
Care:
As a natural product, it is recommended to treat the screening with a suitable exterior wood sealant or varnish annually to prolong its life and maintain its appearance, especially in damp climates.
Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Inspect fixings periodically to ensure the screening remains secure.
