If not, you should consider the use of these materials because in addition to getting quality wood that does not cost a bit, you still have to perform regular maintenance is quite often.

Like wood, bamboo is a natural element that now often ogled by the architect. However, you must remember that the bamboo on the market usually does not last long because it is often cut is not on the season snapped. Bamboo material is easy to eat termites and powder because it has a starch content that is high enough. If you buy the bamboo that have been preserved, usually the price is quite expensive and relatively difficult for the natural preservation is by soaking it in mud on the stream of water flowing to lower levels of starch and clog pores.

However, you can try to preserve a shorter way, namely by injecting diesel fuel in each ruasnya and slathering on the base too. Well, if you choose this method, make sure you choose a skilled carpenter and diligently to ensure that this process be done perfectly. You should also select materials of bamboo with a diameter large enough so easily in the process. If your bamboo small diameter, the preservation work would require extra diligence high.

For brick fences, will last longer if you install rolag brick (brick position was established) at the foot of the fence to increase the strength of the fence, especially in the earthquake area. For natural stone fence, if you use a broken andesite rock, stone or flint Karangasem (red), then you should put a fence with a sufficient thickness (> 30cm) for maximum strength. Better yet, if the stones are fitted with bottom pagian thicker than the body and head (at an angle + 15 degrees), especially if your fence is high enough (above 1.5 m).

If you respect the privacy of the environment other residents, you can use hedges or landscapes. You can combine with a low fence (max. 1 m only) or with low plant on your territory borders.
