| 745499 | 2009-02-06 06:35:00 | Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a place in Christchurch (or New Zealand) the makes fibreglass poles that look like Bamboo? I'm looking for poles about 2 inches (50mm) diameter and up to 3 meters long. I'm wanting to use then for poles for a sail shade. I'd also considered real bamboo poles. Cheers |

| 745501 | 2009-02-06 07:12:00 | have you talked to any fibreglass places here? im sure someone would love to have a crack at it. it'd just be a rough pole casting and some fancy paintwork? | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||

Yeah, I think that might have to be the way. I've seen some in Chch a while back but I can't remember where. Someone must make them. Thanks, I'll chase this up.. |

| 745507 | 2009-02-06 23:50:00 | I saw real bamboo poles for sale this am in Mitre10, Bishopdale. They were 1800 x 50mm so they may not meet your needs. However... | John H (8) | ||
| 745508 | 2009-02-07 00:06:00 | Don't some farmers use bamboo as windbreakers? (maybe not down south mind you) Surely they could give you some for free. |
