Bamboo products & bamboo garden materials – your complete guide

Bamboo is one of the most versatile and sustainable materials of our time. Whether you want a sleek modern patio, a natural garden screen, or interior accents – bamboo can do it all. At Masters of Bamboo, we develop, import, and sell high-quality bamboo products and garden materials. By controlling our entire production process, we can guarantee quality, durability, and price-performance. This guide will help you discover exactly what bamboo products are, what garden materials are made from bamboo, what the advantages are, how to choose them, and how to use them.

What are bamboo products & garden materials?

Bamboo products encompass all materials made from the bamboo plant – from beams, planks, and mats to complete screens, fences, pergolas, and outdoor flooring. Bamboo garden materials are specifically designed for outdoor use: think bamboo decking planks, bamboo borders, bamboo fences, bamboo garden furniture, bamboo poles for construction, and bamboo mats for wall or fence finishing.

Because bamboo grows faster than trees and is renewable, it is an excellent raw material for sustainable garden materials. Want to know more about why bamboo is good for the environment? Read more here .

Why choose bamboo for your garden?

Sustainability & ecological benefits

• Bamboo grows extremely fast and is renewable — a much faster climate-positive alternative than hardwood.
• The material stores CO₂ , grows 5 times faster than trees, and matures after 3 to 5 years. After that, you can harvest bamboo poles annually.
• By controlling the entire production process, we at Masters of Bamboo can guarantee optimal quality and minimal waste.

Technical specifications

• Bamboo has high tensile strength, can be extremely stable, and is very versatile in applications.
• Through processes such as thermal modification or compression (as with Masters of Bamboo Nano or Thermo products), bamboo becomes a suitable outdoor material for intensive use.

Our development & production process

At Masters of Bamboo, we control the process from start to finish:

• Selection of high-quality bamboo species and stems from controlled plantations.
• Processing: drying, treating, sawing, pressing or welding into the desired shape.
• Import and quality control: we inspect, test and certify.
• Sales and distribution: we supply both consumers and professionals, with customized solutions.
  This integrated approach gives us an advantage over many stores that only import finished products. Our control ensures better quality and greater reliability.

How do you choose the right bamboo garden materials?

1. Determine your application

Is it for outdoor use? Then the material must be weather-resistant. Does it have a load-bearing function? Then pay attention to thickness and quality.

2. Pay attention to properties & treatment

Thermally treated or compressed material lasts longer. We always recommend treated bamboo for outdoor use.

3. Check size & finish

Length, thickness, color (natural vs. dark), method of attachment — these determine the final result.

4. Maintenance and lifespan

Although bamboo is durable, it requires maintenance such as cleaning and annual treatment to preserve it. This significantly extends its lifespan.

Maintenance & care of bamboo products

Bamboo outdoor materials require attention to maintenance:

• Clean with bamboo cleaner and a soft brush, then rinse.
• Treatment with oil or protective coating to prevent graying.
• Make sure the bottom isn't constantly in wet soil.
