After I stained our bamboo slats, we used black screws to attach them to the walls. But you have to be careful not to split the bamboo as you tighten the screws.

It may be time-consuming, but drill pilot holes before you screw. This will prevent splitting.

Before I did anything I would ask RevBambooBen specifically.
