johnson36 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerontion Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I was looking at some yesterday that were around 7 - 9 cm wide and 6 metres long - they were 17 baht each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ?

Gerontion Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I'm in the rural north. The bamboo is untreated - you'd have to sort that out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vteo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 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, Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
