Products Spotlight: Practical and Sturdy Construction-Grade Bamboo
Most of our clients are architects and contractors who work for amusement parks, water parks, hotels and resorts, restaurants and other commercial businesses. When they want to buy bamboo poles for a construction project, it needs to be strong! So we are highlighting a few of our construction-grade bamboo products for your review.
Large Bamboo Poles
Tre-Gai Bamboo
Our Tre-Gai bamboo has twice the compressive strength of concrete and roughly the same strength-to-weight ratio of steel in tension. About 64% of bamboo is from Southeast Asia. Most of us don’t think of bamboo’s capability as strong, but many bamboo species are stronger than steel. Tre-Gai Bamboo is considered to be one of five species that contain extremely strong fiber.
Solid Bamboo Poles
Many bamboo poles are hollow inside. But not solid bamboo poles. Just like the name implies, they are solid up to 99% of their diameter. Solid bamboo poles are the most widely used because they are thick-walled and ideal for many types of construction projects. These natural bamboo poles are sustainable and grow quickly after harvesting. If you want to build furniture, or other weight-bearing objects, then you definitely want to buy solid bamboo poles.
What makes it so durable is where it’s grown, how it’s harvested as well as how it will be used.
More Benefits of Bamboo
- The species, Tre-Gai and Solid Bamboo, are versatile and sturdy.
- Since amaZulu’s bamboo products are pressure treated they are also long-lasting.
- If desired, fire retardant can be added at the time of pressure treatment for extra safety.
- It creates an authentic atmosphere for your installations.
- Natural coloring also adds to that authenticity.
