Hi Henry,
Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback to us. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your 1 x 3 x 8 Natural Bamboo Fencing.
We're cautious when selecting the items to ship to our customers. All items are hand-picked and go through a quality-control team. I will make sure to bring this issue to the quality-control team's attention.
Next time feel free to reach out to Home Depot to request a replacement, we'd be glad to assist you.
Best Regards,
Carolina M.
