Jennifer Snyders has transformed the use of bamboo in the Australian fencing industry. Since becoming CEO of House of Bamboo in 2012, she has led the evolution from traditional bamboo rod fences to innovative, engineered bamboo batten panels and solid cladding systems, suitable for modern pool and boundary fencing.
In 2016, Jennifer introduced Australia’s first bamboo-engineered fencing panel. From there, she pioneered the development of modular batten screening and cladding systems, launching the Symphony Series™ Cello and the SeaChange Series® Cottesloe, both now recognised for their high-end aesthetic and market appeal.
With a strong focus on sustainability, Jennifer identified bamboo’s potential as a viable alternative to timber amidst ongoing supply issues. Her commitment to responsible design led to industry-wide adoption of bamboo as a premium fencing solution.
Under her leadership, House of Bamboo’s products have been recognised with top environmental and health certifications.
Jennifer Snyders continues to shape the future of fencing by providing sustainable, innovative, and beautifully crafted alternatives to traditional materials.
In the 2024 Australian FENCING Awards, Jennifer was recognised as an Industry Innovator.
