Made in the USA from recycled high-density polyethylene, it offers superior durability and cold-weather resistance compared to metal or thinner plastics. Available in multiple depths for climate-specific protection, it ensures long-lasting, rust-free containment of bamboo roots while also acting as an impermeable water barrier. ## Description Bamboo Shield is a diversion type control method with a smooth surface on the side facing your bamboo planting. It is made from HDPE, high-density polyethylene. Superior to metals because it will not rust and easier to install. Bamboo roots typically travel in the first 12-18 inches of topsoil. Bamboo Shield is sold in 24", 30", and 36" depths to provide extra protection from stray growth. The polyethylene barrier is made from post industrial recycled regrind material when possible, in the USA. Bamboo Shield is impermeable to water as well which acts as a water barrier. Plastic thinner than 30 mil has been shown to crack when ground temperatures get below -15 degrees F. This would be extremely cold and the thickness greater than 30 mil does great at handling very cold temperatures without damage. The plastic barrier has a better chance not cracking when frozen like other materials. Even concrete will freeze and crack over the years. Driveways are poured 4 to 6 inches deep to allow heavy vehicles passage and parking. Seldom are driveways seen without cracks. Concrete was used many years ago (Byron Agriculture Station in Byron, Georgia) as a below ground barrier system and found to crack below the frost line allowing bamboo rhizomes to emerge through to the other side. One of the many myths of bamboo is its ability to crack solid concrete. Bamboo is not magical, but persistent and its root system will eventually find cracks in concrete and emerge through them. If the environment (sunlight soil) is suitable once it emerges the bamboo will grow if not terminated. The rhizome (root) when growing is very soft and flexible and will always turn when it encounters something harder. Review: Much Sturdier Than Anticipated! - Works great!!! It's MUCH stiffer and sturdier than I thought! I don't know why I thought it would be thinner like tarp, but it's more like a thick plastic board. Review: Bamboo shield - Works as intended. Durable. ## Features - ⚠ Barrier that is under 60 mil thick has been shown to fail when containing bamboo. - Made in the USA from Durable High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), available in 3 sizes - Cold climates use 24-inch depth by 60-mil thick. - Warm climates use 30-inch depth by 80-mil thick. - Tropical climates use 36-inch depth by 100-mil thick. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00U9TT4RC | | Brand | Bamboo Shield | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 566 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | 24 inch deep x 60 mil thick | | Item Type Name | bamboo | | Item Weight | 15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | rotary | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_Bar-60-24-25 | | Material | 24 inch deep x 60 mil thick | | Model Number | FBA_Bar-60-24-25 | | UPC | 630125323038 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bamboo Shield - **Color:** Black - **Material:** 24 inch deep x 60 mil thick - **Product Dimensions:** 24"L x 360"W - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![25 Foot Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61J0eWfcw3L.jpg) ![25 Foot Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715pm4DWGbL.jpg) ![25 Foot Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u709ROMCL.jpg) ![25 Foot Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WsxgxrXGL.jpg) ![25 Foot Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S8+KAtGEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the minimum in-soil depth I need to block bamboo from spreading?** A: Bamboo typically travels in the first 14” of soil for most species in normal conditions. This can vary depending upon soil conditions, climate zone and species of bamboo. We sell the Bamboo Shield in 24”, 30”, and 36” depths. A good general guide is that 24” is for cold climates (climate zones 5-6) 30” is for warm climates (climate zones 6-8), and 36” if for hot climates (climates zones 8+). **Q: will this work on bamboo that has already spread?** A: It will prevent future rhizoms from spreading but any viable rhizoms outside barrier may continue to spread. You are better off with barrier, the bamboo will become more resilient in time **Q: My neighbors planted 6 palm trees by the fence. Will this prevent roots from destroying my concrete slab?** A: Hi,I'm from Phoenix originally and the palms I've seen have a small root base and I just did a little research and palm trees don't rhizome out like bamboo. If the palm in question is very near to your slab, I would think the barrier would work well since the palm tree article stated that palm roots are thin and can't push through heavy soils and the shield I used is very thick, like 2 times the thickness of a credit card.Hope this helps,David **Q: Do I need the clamp, or can I just overlap it by a couple feet?** A: We recommend using the Bamboo Shield clamp to secure any joints. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much Sturdier Than Anticipated! *by L***A on 27 May 2026* Works great!!! It's MUCH stiffer and sturdier than I thought! I don't know why I thought it would be thinner like tarp, but it's more like a thick plastic board. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bamboo shield *by J***I on 25 June 2026* Works as intended. Durable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality Products *by N***. on 19 September 2020* I have been buying products from Lewis Bamboo since 2012. The barrier works well at protecting one's yard from "invasion " I have found it thick and durable. The issue is not the barrier but the installation most times. I have had rhizones jump the barrier (grow up outside the barrier) in a few places but it was due to how the barrier was installed (tree root in the path of the barrier, etc ) that caused the barrier not to be as secure. I simply checked the area outside the barrier twice a year and could easily cut the rhizomes and stop to growth. The bamboo was relatively easy to maintain with good installation of a great barrier. Lewis Bamboo was great in providing a lot of instruction on installing bamboo. Very pleased with my investment in a living fence ## Frequently Bought Together - Bamboo Shield - 20 feet Long x 24 inch x 60 mil - Bamboo Root Barrier/Water Barrier - Bamboo Shield - Clamp for 24" Width Barrier --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/631593462-25-foot-long-x-24-inch-x-60-mil-bamboo](https://www.desertcart.us/products/631593462-25-foot-long-x-24-inch-x-60-mil-bamboo) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
