Yotsume Gaki 四つ目垣

Four eyed/Square division fence

With charred support poles as options to reinforce the ends and midpoints for longer fences, these squared division bamboo fences use relatively few bamboo poles and don't take that much labor to assemble. This makes them one the least expensive option for sculpting your landscape and discouraging animals that are larger than the openings.

Kinkakuji Gaki 金閣寺垣

Fence style popularized by the Kinkaku (gold support) temple

Similar to the Yotsu-me fence in it's straight and open look, the Kinkaku-ji fence has splits from thicker bamboo poles mounted to the charred support post as horizontal covers to protect the vertical bamboo poles and give it a more refined look.

Teppo Gaki (rifle barrel security fence)Japanese style bamboo fence

Teppo Gaki 鉄砲垣 Rifle Barrel Fence

A security fence that allows you to observe people approaching or leaving.

Take Ho Gaki 竹穂垣

Bamboo Branch Fence

The bamboo branch fence has two layers of bamboo branches sandwiched between front and back cover pieces, which are supported on the sides and back by charred posts. A charred bottom board helps keep them off the ground.

Shimizu Gaki 清水垣

Clear Water Fence

The Shimizu 清水 (clear water) fence is named after the region of Japan in which it developed. Horizontal support poles are traditionally supported on the sides and back by charred posts. Vertical poles are lashed to those and the lashings are covered with splits at least on the front with an umbrella piece at the top to keep rain out.

For the simplified version, vertical poles are sandwiched between front and back horizontal poles which are mounted to charred or stained wooden posts, or an existing fence/post structure. Posts and anchoring are extra. The pricing for up to three horizontals is $1.08/Ft2 for untreated bamboo, $2.16/Ft2 for lightly heat treated bamboo, and $3.88/Ft2 for stained bamboo. Additional horizontals can be added for $1.08/linear foot

For the secured version, the vertical poles are lashed to horizontal poles, to prevent slipping/moving. This adds $65/linear foot for up to 3 horizontals, and $35/foot for each additional horizontal.
