Bamboo Shield - 20 feet Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier

Its a great product. Its thicker that I expected which is great for bamboo barrier.

We bought this to try to contain the bamboo that has marched across our lawn and is now getting in the area by our inground swimming pool. Last year the bamboo pushed the liner out of its track and we had to drain the pool, reconnect the liner and then fill the pool again. I never want to go through that again. We have high hopes that this bamboo barrier will work! I wish I had done it sooner.

I got this barrier several months ago right before the spring/summer seasons. I have a large bamboo grove right behind my yard. I have lived at this house for about 2 years now and every season prior, I was fighting off the bamboo from creeping into my backyard. It was a constant DAILY battle to chop and dig it all up. The species has the very fast growing underground "runners" for roots so it spreads very quickly. I surrounded my entire backyard in the barrier (roughly 225 feet) and it has held strong the entire time through the spring and summer growth season. No sign of bamboo growth in the backyard. I did have a slight oversight... My back yard is a giant hill and the barrier is set at the bottom. The water drainage of my yard has been an issue because I essentially blocked all water flow underground.. I will more than likely have to install a sump pump to be able for my yard to drain and stay dry properly. the barrier works great! Just be sure to plan ahead for any water drainage within your yard.

Wanted to get my bamboo out of a planter box and give it some room to grow but keep it contained. This stuff when properly used will keep that bamboo inside the perimeter you make. it's a lot of prep but will be worth it to not worry about any roots or rhizomes running wild.

Bamboo barrier material comes in a variety of thicknesses. I have been growing a patch of Golden Bamboo for several years and the original barrier that I installed was thinner than this material and was starting to fail. The amount of pressure that bamboo roots can create is amazing, so I strongly recommend paying a bit extra to get the 60 mil thickness. You can also get different depths of barrier. In my experience I have not had a problem with Golden bamboo going under the 24 inch width material. But if you have something like Giant bamboo I would recommend the wider material.
