Bamboo type - What type of bamboo would one use in these planters? Any root barriers needed? Thanks »
· Comment · 8 weeks ago
C.O.S Design Its called Slender Weaver Bamboo or Bambusa textilis Gracillis. No need for root barriers as its a clumping variety.

Where can I find solar powered lighting like the ones illuminating the plants? »
· Comment · 11 months ago
C.O.S Design You will never find solar powered lights that illuminate like these as they won't be strong enough. We recommend using LED fittings that are powerful enough but require a fraction on the energy to power them over normal halogen. If you put solar panels on your roof you could run your LED system for 0 bills / 0 emissions.

We buy all our lighting through Gardens At Night - www.gan.com.au

How big is this patio? »

C.O.S Design Sorry, Not quite sure what you mean by the question? The timber landing is only around 1200mm wide. The whole back yard is 5 x 10m. Its a small courtyard design.

C.O.S Design It is a clumping bamboo variety called bambusa textilis gracilis and is fine to plant anywhere and does not become invasive like other creeping varieties.
