Re: [bamboo-plantations] Re: Bamboo facts on floors and furniture!

Dear Daphne Lewis
  My Bamboo house is the Rolls Royce of Bamboo Houses due to the fact that we manufacture the bamboo Nipa Hut the old fashioned way.By Hand. What you have described about some other company product, I totally agree with you. They should be called wooden huts becacuse these people make wooden huts and glue them,then nail pin bamboo laths arounds the coconut wood. Cheep method of manufacturing Bamboo huts. These wooden huts belong in the scrap yard with all the other badley made cars. Respect to you Daphne from Ian

Not true. The houses are built with tre gai and tam vong bamboo.

The factory does not import plywood and studs from the US. Get a grip!
