Features
- The diameter of each bamboo pole varies. Our stated average diameters are always measured from the base (or the thickest point of the bamboo pole).
- A natural characteristic of bamboo poles is that they are thicker at the base than at the top. The taper percentage of Tonkin bamboo poles is approx. 10–15% over a 3 meter length.
- Bamboo is a natural product, so bamboo poles are never 100% straight.
- Each bamboo bar is unique, so color differences can be expected.
- Vertical cracks may occur in bamboo poles, especially when used outdoors. Like wood, bamboo also expands or shrinks as temperature or humidity conditions change. However, cracking does not affect the structural integrity of the bamboo.
- Bamboo used outdoors will weather over time. We recommend treating the bamboo with Bamboo Booster to preserve its natural color.
