It's a beauty! Looks like the bamboo fence near the hot tub is holding up well, too. Did you end up varnishing/sealing it?

Yes! After waiting for the bamboo to age a bit I finally varnished it (about three months ago). Here's a better photo:

What an amazing fence!! I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions please in hopes that I'll get the courage to try and make something similar in my yard. What did you use to fasten the big and small bamboo to your crossbeams? Wood Screws? It almost looks like you used something to plug where you fastned them too? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how did you mount the lanterns to the bamooo? The different colored lighting from the ground shining up onto the fence looks awesome too. Can you give any detail on what you used for that lighting? I'm not this creative to come up with a design by myself as good as this so thank you for sharing all of your information.

That photo makes me think of King Kong trying to get in from the jungle. What a wonderful play place for young and old. Wendy

There's a thread about it under home bars, I believe. It's recent. Just happens to be going on at the moment, so you have good timing!

Since that build was 5 years ago, have you since added a large screen TV and free Wi-Fi? Just curious.
Awesome projects and it was something I had not seen before. Glad it was brought back up.

Very nice, me thinks you need to keep going though, maybe carve tikis into the support beams (DON'T carve too deep though  )
