How far to space bamboo for privacy screen?

Hi,

I've been trying to get some bamboo to plant as a privacy screen along a chain link fence. I was going to go with a clumper but ultimately decided to go with a running type. The type I bought is Arrow Bamboo. I bought 17 1-gallon starts. Now I'm wondering how far a part I should plant them so that they will eventually grow into a nice thick privacy screen. Also, how far away from the fence should I plant them. I am able to get on the opposite side of my fence to mow, so my plan is to keep the culms on that side mowed down to control the running. Does anyone have suggestions on spacing.
