FAQs
What is the primary use of this bark screening?
It is primarily used to cover existing garden fences, walls, or chain link fencing to provide privacy, shade, or to mask unsightly areas. It can also be used over arbors and pergolas.
How is the screening attached to a fence?
It can be easily attached using galvanised wire, cable ties, screws, or nails.
Does the color of the bark fade?
As a natural product, prolonged exposure to sunlight may cause some fading over time.
What are the dimensions of the screening roll?
The roll is 4 meters in length and 1.2 meters in height.
Can this screening be used in windy areas?
Yes, it can be used in windy areas, but ensure it is securely attached to prevent damage or displacement. Allow for some air permeability.
Is the material treated or natural?
The screening is made from natural bark strips and is not explicitly stated as treated.
Troubleshooting
Screening appears loose or sags
Add more attachment points using wire, ties, screws, or nails. Ensure existing fixings are tightened securely. If covering a large span, consider adding intermediate supports.
Uneven appearance due to varied slat size
Embrace the natural variation; overlap slats slightly or strategically place to minimize gaps. For a more uniform look, select areas where variations are less noticeable.
Screening is difficult to cut to size
Use sharp shears or a fine-toothed saw for cutting. Be cautious when cutting to avoid splintering the bark.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the bark screening to the desired length. Position it against the existing structure (fence, wall, etc.). Secure the screening by weaving galvanised wire, cable ties, screws, or nails through the bark strips and into the supporting structure. Ensure the attachments are firm but do not damage the bark excessively. For coverage over arbors or pergolas, ensure the supporting structure is stable enough to hold the screening and allow for wind to pass through.
