Installing reed/baboo fence against wood fence

hi

our 2 m high reed fence is coming to the end of its life now. they are against the neighbour's wooden fence on both sides.

question is how do i install new ones. old supports/fixings are no where to be seen and they are simply held by a string!

any pictures would be really useful.

    I use long canes horizontally to hold the bamboo against a metal fence, with wire around the cane and attached to the fence behind. You'd need to put staples or similar into the wooden fence for the wire to go through- ask the neighbour for permission as it's damage to their fence.

    See, for installation of fence you need to follow some steps like below:
    1.Determine Spacing for Fence Posts
    2.Prepare Holes and Posts
    3.Set Posts
    4.Attach Rails to Fence Posts
    5.Install Fence Boards

    I installed my fence by following the above steps and it around my and it really looks beautiful.
