That may work if his neighbour had bamboo,but as that is not the case, perhaps you could point him to the dime a dozen site.! |

| 745514 | 2009-02-09 09:04:00 | Thanks Cicero, I'd love to buy real bamboo Here in Christchurch, would be about $350 to transport the sizes I want from Auckland after paying a dime for a dozen for them. But it would create some interesting engineering problems. I am going to use them as the support for a shade sail, put them in the ground by about 3/4 meter and remove them during winter. Fake Bamboo poles of fiberglass over a 2 inch steel pole would be less hassle to make removable. |

Its in an area that is quite sheltered and it will be removable for winter and serious storms. |
