Bamboo- what kind of things can I do with it?? I have it growing in my back yard, I use it in my garden & 4 shade 4 my dogs..
I am looking 4 more ideas.
Thank U.
Bamboo and reeds are commonly used in some parts of South Africa as ceilings and also tied in a similar fashion to wire fences, to block road dust, keep critters out and for privacy. The above pic was taken in a very old mud house that was left to fall to ruins, but as you can see the ceilings were still in excellent condition.
@Britesea none at all. I forgot to mention above that they get painted with a clear varnish before fitting as ceilings. It's extremely durable and it looks very nice! I've visited many houses, old and new, with these type of ceilings. What's even more attractive is if you fit thinnish tree trunks as beams below them… Remove the bark, let them dry out thoroughly, varnish and fit. Beautiful!
From what I have seen bamboo is very invasive. In about a year you should be able to build a house!!!
Sorry, I think the canes would have many uses. Not sure how flexible they are when green though. Could you substitute them for any project normally made with willow canes??
