I purchased a bamboo fence in August with the understanding it was appropriate for our climate and would last at least 20 years. I purchased the required installation materials and also had to remove and discard the existing fence. Since the installation was late in the year and I was told to let it weather for 6 months before staining it (stain was supposed to be for cosmetic purposes only) I planned on staining it this spring. I understood it could get some mold (almost entire fence is now covered in mold) and would have to remove the mold and then stain it. I was told it would have to be stained about every 5 years in order to keep it from fading.
I contacted Cali Bamboo on 3/6 to let them know almost all of the Lumboo product (fence frame & posts) delaminated and split. The fence did not last even 6 months never mind 20 years. I included pictures showing the fence when installed and with the delamination.
