Will my Bamboo Fence Age?

Like all outdoor wood products, bamboo can be subject to natural susceptibilities that may include surface mold, cracking, or discoloration. Fortunately, these superficial changes can be remedied (see instructions above) and will not affect the structural integrity of your bamboo.

Can I Restore a Weathered Fence?

Yes; your fencing is 100% repairable. Cali Bamboo Fences can be easily restored. If you notice natural weathering such as mold or discoloration, it is a good time to clean and re-seal your fence (see instructions above).
