Bamboo in SA?

Postby Shawn on Sun Mar 28, 2010 10:18 pm

Does anyone know where I can buy bamboo in SA?

I need a load of sticks about 4-5 feet tall and about 3/4 inch thick. I had a look at bunnings, but they want about $14 per stem... and I need at least 20 of them.

I'm looking at making a take', traditional conditioning equipment.

Not that I remember. I don't live too far from there, so I'll go for a drive one night next week and have a look.
