using bamboo as privacy hedging?

I need to screen off a farmyard from the house and as there seems to be no known fast growing hedge that grows no more than 4/5 metres high I am looking at the idea of bamboo.

Can anyone suggest a fast growing well spreading bamboo suitable for peaty soils that gives privacy?

Thanks,
sara.
