Any bamboo that grows tall enough to screen you from a window that high is going to be a nightmare and not cheap to buy and plant in suitable containers to prevent its bid for world domination.
I suggest instead you consider erecting a pergola or some sort over which you can scramble some good climbers which will provide you with colour, perfume and privacy without blocking all your light. It could be made from wooden uprights and cross bars and then the climbers supported on tensioned wires - cheaper and easier to maintain than trellis panels - or that rusty iron mesh that builders use for reinforcing concrete. It's also cheap, discreet and the perfect gauge for easy tying and training of roses, clematis, honeysuckle.
As stated above, photos would help a great deal. Use the postcard icon on the top of the reply box and make sure your photo is under 2mb.
I take your point! This certainly aligns with the numerous things I've read about problems people have encountered with bamboos. It am certainly going to have to think carefully about this. Pergola type structures are also solutions I am considering. Thank you
Pergolas are certainly more interesting than bamboos and will give you a more varied scene thru the year as the foliage and flowers appear and change plus seed heads maybe berries and more habitat for insects and thus birds. Pyracantha makes a good evergreen screen and framework and has blossom and berries but thorns too.
Pergolas offer somewhere to hang bird feeders too and then, if you like that kind of thing, outdoor fairy lights, candles, ornaments.......
