Which Bamboo is best as a hedge?

I want to disguise the entrance to my Jungle garden, and I thought I would make a windy-path through bamboo so that there wasn't a clear line-of-sight into the Jungle, and thus it would be a surprise when came-upon. Doesn't have to be Bamboo, so open to other suggestions. ...
