High fencing @ Vikram Reddy’s house (Whitefield) in Bangalore
New fixing details were developed on-site to enable the 12’ high bamboo fencing happen without it wobbling and also to make it sturdier. External bamboo column supports along with joineries were developed to hold the 12’ high column strong enough to take the weight of the bamboo panels. The closely spaced 9’ panel served as a structural support to hold the side columns in place and anchor bolts were utilized to screw them to the wall. The 12’ high fencing is taking good shape.
The bamboo panels, column and all the other members have to be given a second coat of cashew nut shell coating.

“Working and designing with the resources we had on site”- this could be the best way to describe this project. The columns were inserted into the flower pots and PCC was poured into it and was allowed to set. These pots were then sunk into the ground about one foot deep to hold it in place. The PCC was covered with earth and allowed small plants to grow over it- An interesting Garden indeed.

The artisans reached Bangalore on the 12th of November and visited the site on the 13th to have an idea of the workplace. The truck was unloaded on the 14th and the actual work began on the 16th of November. Despite it being a new place and a different working atmosphere for the artisans, they were able to cope up with the work and quality was never compromised. Once the marking was done, it was realized that customized bamboo panels had to be prepared which consumed the maximum time. There was a challenge of holding the bamboo fencing panels in place and hence new supports were assembled onsite to solve the issues of the panel wobbling, etc.
The new supports made it sturdier and gave an appealing aesthetic view too. The supports and the panels were held by a box joint that happened on the top. A final touch of cashew nut shell coating has to given.

The alcove is often considered to have the highest status in the Japanese tea ceremony. Another possibility is to place a bamboo vase on the floor in the middle of the alcove, depending on the scroll hanging on the alcove back wall. cedar fences company
