Bamboo Construction Projects More Than an Idea
Author: Azizti Eka SantiThe fastest-growing plant on Earth is bountiful but ignored. Bamboo is a unique natural resource, unlike trees, that in short periods of time can reach maximal growth rate exceeding one meter (39 inches) per hour. All bamboo grows to fall height and girth in a single growing season of 3-4 month. During this first year the young shoots strike skyward supported by photosynthesis from the rest of the clump and in no time sprouts their own branches and leaves.
There are many advantages to using bamboo in construction. It is a highly functional, beautiful, earthquake-indifferent material. Bamboo occurs in many sizes, many degrees of hardness, and many grades of color and occupies a wide range of habitats. It is possible to build multiple-story buildings with bamboo. Whereas trees must be replanted when they are harvested, bamboo roots sprout up again quickly.
However, bamboo can be preserved for at least 50 years using pyrolytic acid. Burning leftover pieces of harvested bamboo in a large oven smokes the bamboo poles. The smoking extracts the acid from inside the bamboo and evenly applies it to the surface.
A bamboo gazebo may be easier to get, but you should bare in mind that building one should be made by someone who understands the basics of bamboo building and that the place you are placing the gazebo will be suitable for this kind of gazebo. A bamboo gazebo placed on a beach is a great idea, but one placed on a mountain top may prove to be usable only a few days a year.
The idea in using bamboo as a construction material is not new. In tropical areas bamboo is very easy to find as they even grow behind houses. Supported by the manufacturing industry bamboo brings to you a different choice of material in contemporary furniture. Bamboo is resistant to termite damage so it is a good choice for many when looking to build small contemporary furniture pieces and even larger buildings.
