VampiressRN, thank you.

It was at the home tiki bar "Walls of Voodoo," during the Sacramento CAP CITY TIKI CRAWL, that I was inspired to use bamboo fence on the wall. Here's a picture of the wall, from the crawl, with my new friend!

I had no idea how to do this. It seems like you would just staple it to the wall but the weight would make it tough to hang even. Since the room is already finished with a baseboard and wood trim running under the window, I couldn't rest the bamboo on the floor. Also, I didn't want to take out the baseboard. I came up with this idea of hanging a sleeve for the bamboo.

When the bamboo fence arrived I was disappointed at first.

I ordered it from Home Depot. The price seemed right and the shipping was free. I thought all the poles would be somewhat uniform in color but they weren't.

Since I had a few extra feet I found that it wasn't to difficult to switch out the undesirable poles.

As it turns out I actually like having some poles green, yellow and brown. It makes it look more primitive. It even goes better with the color of the carpet and adds a different texture to the room.
