Bamboo rolls can cost anywhere from $20 to $100 USD.

The board provides a level surface for the bamboo while also lifting it off of moist soil.

Work slowly. Tie the fence in place before moving the board so you are able to keep the fence steady.

You can purchase packs of chain link wire ties or get 1 ft (0. 30 m) galvanized wire from a home improvement center. You may also use zip ties. These are made of plastic, so they may be less sturdy but easier to attach than metal wires.

Tie the ties in place the same way as you did before. This will secure the bottom of the bamboo to your chain link fence.

If you covering a long fence, you may need multiple bamboo rolls.

Bushes typically range from $15 to $60 apiece. Bushes, trees, and shrubs are a natural “privacy screen” but they require weekly maintenance and can take a few years to grow to full size. You can also grow vines similarly to how you grow bushes or trees.

For example, you can choose an Arborvitae. These hedges are evergreens that can grow tall in front of high fences. Deciduous bushes like North privet and Rose of Sharon lose their leaves in the winter, so you don’t get year-round coverage.

For instance, expect to leave 6 to 8 in (15 to 20 cm) between trees and 3 to 4 in (7. 6 to 10. 2 cm) between each shrub. You can also run a string from stake to stake to ensure you plant in a straight line.

Avoid planting containers in the ground. Trees and shrubs need to be taken out of the container before planting so the roots can spread. If you are placing a bunch of plants with bare roots, you can dig a trench along the fence to make this easier.

You do not need to put any compost or other additives into the soil at this time. Compost can be spread over the soil after the first year.

Spread the mulch along the diameter of the hole you dug earlier. Also, avoid letting the mulch touch the plant’s trunk.

To water trees and bushes regularly, place a garden hose nearby and let water drip into the soil for 30 minutes. You can check the soil’s moistness by sticking a pole into the ground. It should slide into the soil without resistance.

Trimming shrubs and bushes forces them to grow upwards and keeps them looking neat. For trees like juniper and cedar, you are better off letting the branches grow naturally. Prune excessive branches as needed.

Building slats may cost you around $50, although this can be higher depending on the supplies you need. Depending on the size of your fence, you may need to adjust the size of the boards. If you cut the wood yourself, take proper precautions by wearing goggles and a respirator. You can also purchase slats from a home improvement store, but they can get expensive.

The smaller boards will connect to the fence and hold the slats in place.

Make sure the side boards are level, or else the slats will not hang straight on your fence.

The bottom slat needs to be higher than the ends of the side boards so it doesn’t hang in wet soil.

Make sure the edges of the slats are aligned. You don’t want some of the slats to stick out further than the others.

Adjust the panel so it is as tight against the fence as possible. If it isn’t straight, your next measurements may be inaccurate.

You can purchase the pipe ties at a home improvement store. You need 2 of them for your panel.

Each pipe tie connects to the boards in 2 spots, so you will need to drill a total of 4 holes. Wear safety gloves, goggles, and other protective clothing while operating a drill.

Twist a washer and nut onto each bolt to ensure the panels stay in place. If you have a long fence, repeat the process to create more panels you can hang.
