Bamboo Shade/Privacy/Noise Reduction Screen

We cut, painted and screwed into post brackets a 4 x 4 header between posts to hang panel. Could also cut longer a stronger PVC pipe, or steel pipe using closet pole holders and screw into side posts....just a thought.

Lay out bamboo fencing and place bed sheet on top to cut bed sheet width of bamboo and to center of bamboo fencing. Cut 2 PVC pipe's for top and bottom the width of the bamboo and lay across the center of bamboo fencing on top edge of bed sheet. Fold remainder bamboo fencing over bed sheet.

Zip tie center and on each end (do not completely tighten) thru bamboo and end of bed sheet around PVC pipe to secure folded area to create solid rod to hang. Add zip ties thru each zip tie used to hold rod in place, to create a loop for hanging on hooks and securing bottom to posts.

Screw hooks into header aligned with zip tie loops on bamboo fencing and hang. Slide 2nd PVC pipe between bamboo at bottom and secure with zip tie and hook.

This privacy screen has been hanging for over two years and has endured rain and winds up to 40mph and still looks great!

Note: I use the bed sheet for additional privacy and noise reduction, but use your imagination for another possibility.

The hooks are screwed into header and zip ties to hang.

Optional to install between side posts for PVC or steel pipe instead of a header.
