To install Tre-Gai, pre-drill a hole before screwing through the bamboo. Try to screw through the node—the thickest part of the bamboo pole—if you are able.
Can I stain the polyurethane-treated Bamboo Poles?

Is Tre-Gai Bamboo susceptible to insects?
No, amaZulu only sells pressure-treated re-Gai bamboo
Is the diameter the same width throughout the pole?
Because Tre-Gai bamboo is a natural product, the diameter can vary up to one inch per 10 linear feet.
Tre-Gai Bamboo
TRE-GAI BAMBOO IS ALSO CALLED: RUSTIC BAMBOO | BAMBUSA SPINOSA
Tre-Gai bamboo is a premium choice for large-diameter bamboo poles. It is a rapidly renewable, construction-grade bamboo, which makes it a premium choice for structural purposes. The poles average between 2-3 inches and 3-4 inches in diameter. Lengths of 8 feet, 10 feet, and 12 feet are available. It is often used to build pillars, roofs, flooring and so much more. Its pronounced nodes offer a distinctly rustic look ideal for any setting.

General Contractor and Architecture Engineering Notes:
Tre-Gai has a more rustic look than other bamboo, as the nodes are more pronounced. Our Tre-Gai bamboo is all-natural, so its colors will vary! This can create a more rustic and tropical look for your upcoming project.
