Hi @RobynJ1. Thanks for your question.
The timber batons are not necessary and you can screw directly into the fencing. The timber provides an easy to work with fixing point which is sturdy and prevents many unnecessary holes being put in the fence.
I hope this assists with your project.

Hi @RobynJ1.
To fix the screening directly in the fencing you might need a longer screw similar to Buildex 10-16 x 45mm Climacoat Countersunk Ribbed Head Metal Wing Tek Screws 100 Box. This is to allow enough length to pass through the height of the bamboo.

i drilled a pilot hole through the bamboo first to avoid it splitting, then placed a large galv tec screw 75mm self drilling metal type through that pilot hole and continued fixing it to the top and bottom rail of the fence its real quite easy dont doubt yourself and u will see great results , i found it a good idea to run a string line at the height you want (left to right ) !------------------------! or right to left 
with that pulled tight and level all you have to do is but up the panels , i got my bamboo from the palm nursery in greenvale great prices

Hi Patrick (@pats6182),
Sorry for the delay in my reply.
Was there a particular product you were interested in? Whites have a range of different privacy screens in both timber and laser cut panels. I'd need to know which one it was to advise whether this fixing method would be suitable.
I look forward to hearing additional details.
