    wiseoldowl, if it helps I have some screening that is both, it alternates about every 40cm between split bamboo and willow. (bit like a zebra crossing is black and white) It seems to last for around 4 years, but I would suggest get the one that is just willow (I think that's what it is) as the bamboo doesn't last that long. The other thing I would suggest is secure it as often as you can, as with mine the wire that holds it together corrodes and snaps (even though its galvanised)
