Can I use wood or bamboo or something that will withstand high winds?

Do you mean a screen for a window or a privacy screen?

Secure top and bottom and you should be in good shape.

The frame and attachment method plus your local wind conditions will determine how well things stand up to the elements.

First, don't attack it. What are you doing it for. Privacy on a porch in the yard? a little better explanation of what you are trying to achieve would help.

It's more of how or where you are attacking it to. Where is it going? What is it for?
