Instructions / Assembly

Remove any bamboo

that is outside of the

control area. Cutting

can be done with most

any medium duty saw

or larger.

Omit Step 1

for new plantings.

A small trench is dug

in which the barrier

is placed. It does not

have to be wide, just

deep enough for the

material.

Renting a trencher

will make the job

easier if the area is

accessible. Make sure

that the trencher goes

deep enough for your

selected barrier.

STEP 3 PREPARE TRENCH FOR INSTALL Check trench for correct depth. Clear debris that may impede the barrier from properly seating in trench. Tip: Prior to installation, lay the barrier out in the sun. This will relax the material making it easier to work with. STEP 4 INSERT BAMBOO SHIELD Place the barrier into the trench with 2” exposed above grade with the shiny side toward the bamboo. Angle the top of barrier slightly away from bamboo and backfill soil.
