from bamboo to Bamboo X-treme® For centuries bamboo poles and bamboo components have been used in outdoor applications. To guarantee a long lasting product for outdoor use, many protective measures have to be taken. In dry environments poles will crack and the bamboo inner wood material, due to its high “sugar”components, will be easily attacked by micro-organisms and fungi. In China bamboo can be replaced cost efficiently, but in Western countries this is not an option. Therefore, wouldn’t it be great to find a way to use one of the fastest growing plants on earth and to make the material suitable...
