As far as your fence goes, pablus, consider using twine, or sisal rope. Nothing wrong with lashing everything together! There's a GREAT bamboo divider from Ikea that I got for free (score!) a few years ago. It was like, $75 at Ikea, and it's a TON of bamboo. What they did was drill holes every 2 feet or so, and have rope running through the bamboo. My suggestion is to do that, drill holes, line everything up, and you can either leave it as a free standing fence, or lash it to your chain link here and there. Lashing is the way of the elders! (And the Boy Scouts, which is where I learned all of my rope based building skills) Here's two super useful links. http://meritbadge.org/wiki/images/f/fc/When_to_use_knots_lashings.pdf http://www.bsatroop780.org/skills/Lashing.html
