Description

Natural:
The all-time favourite. Freshly cut poles are kiln dried, with the high pressure and temperature extracting the moisture. As a result, the poles turn a golden yellow colour. They are then sprayed with a lacquer finish for weather protection.

Mahogany:
The bamboo poles are rolled over glowing hot coals. They brown like kebabs, and are then lacquer finished.

Durability of MOSO Fences It is difficult to predict the durability of outdoor bamboo fences, as it depends on weather conditions. The Japanese, for example, completely replace the bamboo fences around their temples ever *2 years, in addition to regular maintenance. The main damaging factor on bamboo is the sun. Fences exposed to full sun all day will age sooner, turning a silvery-grey colour similar to timber. Bamboo doesn't rot - it becomes brittle, and may crack with age. Exposure to water encourages the growth of moulds and fungus on the bamboo, but these can be washed off with a stiff brush and hose. Cracks in whole canes may allow water to collect inside the culms, leading to discolouration and mould. Weathered bamboo becomes more porous, enabling oil, varnish or stain to penetrate. This does not happen when the bamboo is new. Vanishing and staining bamboo extends its life - simply rubbing an oily cloth of linseed oil when necessary maintains it.
