Re: Bamboo dis, bamboo dat

yeah I already have it in one of the rooms.. it would not be suitable for a kitchen though because it is soft.


it would be cool if the bamboo was redone to look like the cedar fence panels because I think it is termite resistant and ie tough.

some of the fences on the site gb out up mr clancy would just go pon him ghind legs, jump pon ie 2x and be out running free to chase squirrels [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Kia,

Powderpost beetles eat bamboo if it isn't treated but I don't know if these are present in the tropics or just up here in the temperate zones.
I don't know for sure but I think bamboo is too hard for termites (or duck ants) to bother with.
Enough of it is being used in Jamaica and elsewhere for fences etc so that it shouldn't take too much effort to ask a few places that have older looking fences or furniture if anything is nyamming them.
