The Guadua bamboo is a type of bamboo that originates from Latin America. Guadua poles have a thick wall, which contributes to their exceptional strength and stability. This makes the bamboo poles extremely suitable for bamboo construction. Guadua bamboo is known as the strongest bamboo species in the world, with a tensile strength like steel and an incredibly high load-bearing capacity.

Guadua bamboo poles are ideal for a variety of applications, such as bamboo building structures, beautiful furniture, decorations and garden fences.

The strong bamboo poles are extremely suitable for construction projects. Innovative designers and architects use Guadua bamboo poles. See also our Bamboo projects for constructions for festivals and zoos, among other things. Bamboo is also used in constructions such as the construction of a parking garage in The Hague and Amsterdam, a complete beach theater in Noordwijk, or art structures.

In short, choose Guadua bamboo for the strongest and most durable constructions.

  • Diameter
    The diameter of each bamboo pole varies. Our indicated dimensions are always measured at the base (or the thickest side of the bamboo pole). Are you looking for a specific size? Come by and choose the perfect bamboo pole(s) for your project(s).
  • Gradient
    A natural property of bamboo, is, that they are thicker at the base than at the top. The gradient of the bamboo poles depends on the bamboo species and the length of the pole. With Guadua bamboo the gradient is minimal, approximately 10-15% over a length of 3 meters.
  • Straightness
    Bamboo is a natural product, therefore bamboo poles are never 100% straight.
  • Variations
    Each bamboo pole is unique, with its own character and charm. Variations in colour and width are normal and add an authentic touch to any project.
  • Stains
    Guadua bamboo poles sometimes show black spots. These are completely normal for Guadua species growing at high altitudes, and are also a characteristic of extreme hardness due to their high silica content.
  • Cracks
    Vertical cracks can/will occur in bamboo poles, especially during the hot and dry summer months. Just like wood, bamboo expands or contracts when there are changes in temperature or humidity. However, cracks do not directly affect the structural properties or lifespan of the bamboo.

Tips for working with Guadua poles

Bamboo poles are very easy to handle and work with. The activities below are easy to perform.

  • How to cut bamboo poles?
    You can cut bamboo poles with a Japanese saw, hand saw or cross-cut saw. Use a fine-toothed saw as much as possible to prevent splintering.
  • How to drill bamboo poles?
    Drilling or making holes in bamboo poles is easy with a hole drill or a sharp wood drill.
  • How to connect bamboo poles?
    Bamboo poles can be connected in many different ways. Most techniques use rope and/or threaded ends, but methods such as the fish mouth or mortise and tenon are also possible connection techniques.
  • How to screw bamboo poles?
    If you want to use screws to mount bamboo poles to something, it is best to always pre-drill to avoid cracks.
  • How to half or split bamboo poles?
    The hollow inside makes it easy to half a bamboo pole. You can do this, for example, by hammering a chisel or sharp wedge downwards from one side. Repeat this on the other side and you will see that the bamboo pole splits neatly into 2 parts. Of course you can also half the bamboo pole with a saw so that you get 2 half bamboo parts.
  • How do you paint bamboo poles?
    You can paint, spray, or oil bamboo poles. Our advice is always to thoroughly degrease and sand lightly. Guadua bamboo posts are extremely suitable for this due to the porous structure of the post. This means that paint, oil or varnish works perfectly with this type of bamboo.
  • Can bamboo poles go into the ground?
    If you wish to place bamboo poles in the ground, we recommend: Bamboo Ground Protector to be applied to the part that is placed in the ground. This special black coating protects bamboo against wood rot and significantly extends its lifespan.

When used outdoors, bamboo will age, just like wood. To maintain the natural colour of bamboo, we recommend treating the poles annually with Bamboo Protector, a specially developed UV-resistant varnish that slows down the aging process, so that your bamboo poles remain beautiful for longer.

How Strong is Bamboo?

Bamboo is remarkably strong and durable; it is often compared to steel because of its high tensile strength. This means that bamboo can withstand great forces without breaking. This property makes it ideal for applications in construction, furniture, and other products that require robustness.
