Description

Stop Bamboo in its Tracks! Bamboo Shield is a diversion type control method with a smooth surface on the side facing your bamboo planting. It is made from HDPE, high-density polyethylene. Superior to metals because it will not rust and easier to install. Bamboo roots typically travel in the first 12-18 inches of topsoil. Bamboo Shield is sold in 24", 30", and 36" depths to provide extra protection from stray growth. The polyethylene barrier is made from post industrial recycled regrind material when possible, in the USA. Bamboo Shield is impermeable to water as well which acts as a water barrier. Plastic thinner than 30 mil has been shown to crack when ground temperatures get below -15 degrees F. This would be extremely cold and the thickness greater than 30 mil does great at handling very cold temperatures without damage. The plastic barrier has a better chance not cracking when frozen like other materials. Even concrete will freeze and crack over the years. Driveways are poured 4 to 6 inches deep to allow heavy vehicles passage and parking. Seldom are driveways seen without cracks. Concrete was used many years ago (Byron Agriculture Station in Byron, Georgia) as a below ground barrier system and found to crack below the frost line allowing bamboo rhizomes to emerge through to the other side. One of the many myths of bamboo is its ability to crack solid concrete. Bamboo is not magical, but persistent and its root system will eventually find cracks in concrete and emerge through them. If the environment (sunlight soil) is suitable once it emerges the bamboo will grow if not terminated. The rhizome (root) when growing is very soft and flexible and will always turn when it encounters something harder.

  • Much Sturdier Than Anticipated!
Material Type: 24 inch deep x 60 mil thick Size: 30 feet
Works great!!! It's MUCH stiffer and sturdier than I thought! I don't know why I thought it would be thinner like tarp, but it's more like a thick plastic board.

  • Worth renting a trench digger
Very sturdy. Digging the trench for this was rough. Probably should have rented a machine for that part.

  • I'm building a wall
Material Type: 24 inch deep x 60 mil thick Size: 50 feet
When the neighbors send their bamboo, they're not sending their best. They're sending bamboo with lots of problems. This is a tremendous rhizome barrier. It's a great, great thing to have if you're building a wall. And I'm building a wall, ok folks? That I can tell you. A big, beautiful wall that no illegal bamboo will get through AND THE NEIGHBORS WILL PAY FOR IT! Well, they haven't yet, I did. That's not a problem. I have lots of money, ok? Believe me. You don't need my tax returns to know that. I am the evidence! It's a lot of money for some thick plastic. It may throw the budget out of whack. It's not just plastic, kind of like vinyl. Like a record. What happened to records? I liked them. I have a great record collection, by the way. Every Michael McDonald and Pat Boone record. I like Sinatra too. I hear the hip young people are collecting records again. That's good. They love me, the young people. It's true. ... show more

  • Excellent product. Great seller.
Excellent product. Excellent quality very thick. Our neighbors Grove has been in for approximately 3 years. It was talking over my yard. We cut all the roots and had the barrier installed on our side of the fence. It's been in for about 4 weeks. So far all is well. Seller is excellent to work with. Kept me up to date on shipping and answered all of my questions or problems very quickly. Very happy with outcome so far. ... show more

  • High Quality Products
Material Type: 24 inch deep x 60 mil thick Size: 55 feet
I have been buying products from Lewis Bamboo since 2012. The barrier works well at protecting one's yard from "invasion " I have found it thick and durable. The issue is not the barrier but the installation most times. I have had rhizones jump the barrier (grow up outside the barrier) in a few places but it was due to how the barrier was installed (tree root in the path of the barrier, etc ) that caused the barrier not to be as secure. I simply checked the area outside the barrier twice a year and could easily cut the rhizomes and stop to growth. The bamboo was relatively easy to maintain with good installation of a great barrier. Lewis Bamboo was great in providing a lot of instruction on installing bamboo. Very pleased with my investment in a living fence ... show more
