Bamboo Rhizome Barrier

Description

🌿 Bamboo Rhizome Barrier – HDPE (80 mil)

Protect Your Property. Control Bamboo Growth.

Our HDPE bamboo rhizome barrier (80 mil / 2.03 mm) is the most effective solution for containing invasive running bamboo species. Made from industrial-grade high-density polyethylene, this barrier is strong, flexible, and built to withstand pressure from aggressive bamboo rhizomes without tearing, cracking, or breaking down over time.

Key Features:

• ✅ Thickness: 80 mil (2.03 mm / 0.08 inch) – recommended minimum for effective bamboo control

• ✅ Height: Customizable to your trench depth (typically 24″–36″ recommended)

• ✅ Material: High-density polyethylene (HDPE)

• ✅ Flexible yet extremely durable

• ✅ UV-resistant and long-lasting underground

Installation Tips:

• Install vertically in a trench, leaving 2 inches above ground to prevent rhizomes from jumping over.

• Overlap seams by 2–3 inches and secure with our stainless steel seam clamp for a tight seal.

• Remove rocks, roots, or debris that may press against the barrier and weaken it.

• In many cases, you can leave one side open (usually on the property side) to guide bamboo growth and make maintenance easier—no hardware needed for open-ended installs.

Important Notes:

• Avoid using 40 mil barriers – these are too thin and will fail over time.

• Steel conducts cold into the root zone and wood barriers will eventually rot.

• Vapor barriers and landscape fabric are ineffective for bamboo control.

Keep your bamboo beautiful and contained with the barrier trusted by landscapers, gardeners, and bamboo enthusiasts alike.
