Yeah I was thinking clumpers would be safer but mean buying more. I really hate that existing hedge but for sure need to be safe as don’t want my garden to be overtaken!

Spend that money!
I researched the shit out of this and we've got this:

you can get decently priced bundles from here:
https://www.scottishbamboo.com/for example the kind @Fox has:
https://www.scottishbamboo.com/Fargesia+Robusta+Campbell+-+5+Plant+%285+Metre+Length%29+Hedging+Bundle/0_CAAA003/PRAA015.htmprice seems reasonable based on my research
we installed a hedge/screen of fargesia rufa in large planters (75L x 60W x 60H; 110L x 60W x 60H) in autumn last year... I've been very impressed with how robust it has been so far (touch wood). we've had multiple storms up here in scotland with days of 50mph winds, rain, heavy snow, frost down to -7 at one point, and it's taken all of it. only thing that seemed to affect it was the snow, which sat on its leaves and flattened the hedge. was quite a fright coming down in the morning and having a clear line of sight into my (bad and hated) neighbour's garden. as soon as the snow thawed though, it rebounded back to its original position.
looking forward to seeing how it gets on in spring, hope it starts to thicken out even further. the snow day actually gave me a good appreciation of how much screening it actually provides. I just want 0 (zero) lines of sight to my (bad and hated) neighbour

Is it a spreading bamboo? They're alarming and will try all sorts of tricks to escape. You can get good clumpers.
