Harvested from one of the world’s fasted-growing plants, bamboo poles are a time-tested renewable resource that can be used for a wide array of projects and purposes. Bamboo materials are a popular choice for hotels, resorts, restaurants, zoos and a plethora of theme parks. Choosing the right decorative bamboo poles creates countless possibilities in any environment.
