Overlap-cross the cord ends on the underside of bamboo A, pull taut.īring the cord ends upward next to bamboo A’s sides. Loop the cord ends backward over bamboo B and downward past bamboo A’s sides then pull the cords downward. Overlap-cross the cord ends behind bamboo A, pull taut.īring both cord ends straight up, just above bamboo A and directly next to the top edge of bamboo B. Position bamboo B with the appropriate amount of overlap/overhang, in this case 3”.ĭrape the center of your cord over bamboo A directly above the joint site, and pull the cord ends downward toward the ground. Use a table or your lap or some other support surface, and arrange your first two bamboo pieces – one vertical bamboo post (shown in photos as bamboo A), and one trimmed horizontal bamboo pole (bamboo B). In this project, a fairly thin cord was used so it was cut to about 3’ long per piece.įold the cord in half and pinch the halfway point. To start, cut a piece of the waxed cord into about 3’ to 4’ long (longer for thicker cording, shorter for thinner cording). Now that your spacing is determined and your poles are trimmed, it’s time to lash your first joint using the Japanese square lashing technique. Assemble your DIY lattice fence using the Japanese square lashing technique. Set your pile of trimmed bamboo poles away from your full-length (6’) posts to keep things organized. Using a tape measure, mark your cutting point for each of the horizontal poles.Ĭut the mark with a chop saw, aka miter saw. Note, for this particular project, the horizontal bamboo poles should be 4’8” long. Take note of the measurement obtained from the computation in the previous step. Measure and cut the horizontal bamboo poles for your wood lattice fence. So each horizontal bamboo pole (there are nine) needs to be trimmed to be 4’8”, or 56”, long. To determine how long each horizontal pole should be, add the spacing between vertical posts (in this case 4’2”) with twice the overhang amount (in this case 2×3”, or 6”).
This example shows a 3” overhang, which means we’ll need to trim every horizontal bamboo pole to an equal length. Determine overlap.ĭecide how much, if any, overhang you want from each horizontal pole over the vertical posts. Note: Just eyeball it at this point there’s no need to get precise just yet. When your vertical posts are spaced and laid out, loosely lay your horizontal bamboo poles across them to determine how much of a space you want between the horizontal rows. This example shows a fence with four evenly spaced vertical posts, creating three 4’2” lattice fence panels. Then lay your 6’ bamboo poles perpendicular to the measuring tape these will be the vertical posts for your lattice fence. Lay a measuring tape out on the ground, equal to your desired length of the fence lattice. Note: For this DIY lattice fence project, a 12-1/2’ long fence with three horizontal bamboo tiers were used. Measure with tape, and then eyeball with actual bamboo poles to get a feel of your spacing preferences. Measure and determine bamboo lattice fence placement and spacing.īegin by determining the size of the bamboo lattice fencing needed. Not only does it work better than the shorter metal ones, but it will look much more natural as well. Wood lattice fencing works best for this type of plant as it keeps the stalks from overhanging and blocking out the sunlight for other plants or grass in the garden.Īs those vines keep on growing, a taller fence, like a bamboo lattice fence, would be a much better option.
