Helps Reverse Global Warming: Incredible and true, bamboo produces the MOST OXYGEN of all the plants! And it CONSUMES MORE CARBON DIOXIDE than any other plant!
Sustainably Harvested & Annually Renewable: Mature bamboos produce new shoots and canes each year, which can be harvested individually without destroying the plant.
Fastest Growing Plant on the Planet: New shoots of some species have been clocked growing up to 3 FEET PER DAY in their shooting season!
Environmental Cleanup: Bamboo plants are very effective at removing metals and other toxic substances from soils and water.
Diverse: There are over 1500 SPECIES of bamboo in the world.
Stronger Than Steel: Bamboo has a TENSILE STRENGTH of 28,000 per square inch, vs. 23,000 for steel.
Provides Safe Housing: Over 1 billion people in the world live in BAMBOO HOUSES. Bamboo buildings have proven to be exceedingly earthquake proof.
Nutrition for Humans and Animals: BAMBOO SHOOTS have been eaten throughout Asia for centuries, and branches and leaves make good fodder for animals. It contains Germanium, which reverses the aging process in cells.
Ancient Healing: Various parts of many bamboo species have been used in CHINESE AND AYURVEDIC MEDICINE for centuries.
Did You Know? Thomas Edison used bamboo filaments in his first LIGHT BULBS, and one of those bulbs is STILL burning today at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC!
Hardy: Bamboo was the first PLANT LIFE to return after the atomic bombings in Japan. Also, some bamboos are cold hardy to –20 degrees F.

Why Bamboo ?
A bamboo fence designed and manufactured using the correct types of bamboo,and maintained regularly should outlast an ordinary wooden fence panel by 3 times !
A bamboo cane is as strong as steel, but more malleable - it grows tall and straight and is therefore perfect as a building material. It is light, strong and beautiful
Faunagarden bamboo fencing panels are carefully designed and manufactured from Mau Zhu and Cha Zhu, the very toughest bamboos available .
As these 2 types of bamboo are resistant to rot and infestation, they will last far longer than low cost wood and bamboo. We do not need to use costly and environmentally unacceptable chemical treatments. Unlike wood, bamboo is NOT pressure treated with chromated copper arsenate (arsenic), a proven toxin and carcinogen, to prevent rot. Bamboo is therefore a much more ecological solution for gardens and landscapes
Bamboo still plays an extremely important part in the life of communities in China and Asia. The qualities of bamboo are such that it cannot often be replaced with modern substitutes. Bamboo is particularly useful in preventing soil erosion as the interlocking rhizomes keep topsoil firmly in place. When planted on steep hillsides and river banks it can greatly reduce problems caused by floods, landslides and earthquakes.
