Been more than a year and I finally gotten around to covering the ugly colorbond fencing behind the window splashback in the kitchen and around the alfresco area. Here are the 26 panels that were ordered weighing in at 400kg which I had to carry individually from the delivery truck (since they didn't have any forklift/ramp).

These panels are 2.4m long and 0.9m wide. A little too tall to have them vertically, but there was a reason I ordered the 2.4m ones instead of the 1.8m or 2.2m versions.
 |
| Vertical layout |
The intent was to lay them horizontally. Having the longer panels meant I would cover more with less panels, 4.8m compared to 3.6m.
 |
| Horizontal layout |
Here's what they will look like through the window splashback. Definitely going with the horizontal layout.

| Kitchen view |
Stacking them on top of each other and I get the typical 1.8m height.

Now I just need to finish them with Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus. I probably should be re-oiling the decking and wooden feature at the front of the house too.
Edit: Recent had pest control done, and the gaps behind the bamboo became infested with roaches. The pest controller now advise the external gets treatment every 6 months.
