Whats The Price Of Large Bamboo Poles

[johnson36]

I am interested to know what the price of bamboo is, the larger stuff with a diameter approximately 2.5" up to 4" (60mm -100mm) in lengths of 3 or 4 metres or more. Also is it possible to buy round log of approximately 4" or 5" and lengths of 2.5 metres or more.

I was looking at some yesterday that were around 7 - 9 cm wide and 6 metres long - they were 17 baht each.

Sounds really cheap. What area in Thailand is this price from ? Do any of these suppliers offer to treat it with something like borax to prevent termites eating it ?

I'm in the rural north. The bamboo is untreated - you'd have to sort that out yourself.

Hello Gerontion,

Thanks for the details. Could you advise where is the place to buy the poles?

Rgds,

Yes, it is interesting... what about delivery?... to Bangkok.

P.S.

Maybe you can post a picture.
