The Guadua bamboo pole is a type of bamboo from Latin America that is known for its exceptional strength. This type of bamboo is one of the strongest in the world and has an impressive load-bearing capacity and tensile strength that is comparable to steel. Thanks to the thick wall structure these poles offer extra stability and durability. This makes them particularly suitable for construction applications in bamboo construction.

These Guadua bamboo poles are not only incredibly strong, but also versatile in use. Whether you want to build a bamboo canopy, create a climbing tower, manufacture furniture, install cladding or have a range of other applications in mind, the structural properties of Guadua bamboo make it possible. Guadua bamboo is ideal for environmentally friendly constructions and is therefore a sustainable and ecological choice within architecture. Take a look at our projects to see what we have done with it.

But it’s not just about strength, the natural beauty of Guadua bamboo adds a refreshing look to any space, indoors or out. Carefully harvested, treated and dried before being shipped to you, we guarantee the highest quality bamboo poles.

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.
Gradient
A natural property of bamboo poles 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.
Spots
Guadua bamboo poles sometimes show black spots. These are completely normal as Guadua species grow 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.

Here are some of the many options for what constructions you can make with bamboo poles:

Constructions: Bamboo poles offer many possibilities for various construction projects. With bamboo poles, the possibilities are virtually endless, from functional structures to decorative accents, and everything in between.
Pergolas: Create an atmospheric outdoor space with a bamboo pergola, perfect for creating shade and supporting climbing plants.
Facade cladding: Give your building a natural look with bamboo cladding, which is both aesthetic and sustainable.
Water features: Create beautiful water features such as fountains, waterfalls or ponds using bamboo poles for a soothing atmosphere and natural look.
Ceilings: Use bamboo sticks as ceiling beams for a warm and natural look in your interior.
Art: Unleash your creativity and discover the many benefits of this versatile and sustainable material. Create a beautiful art display with bamboo poles from Guadua.
Gates: Create impressive entrances with bamboo gates that are both functional and decorative.
Tents: Build unique tent structures for events or outdoor activities using bamboo poles as sturdy support.
Start-finish arches: Mark important points at events or races with eye-catching start-finish arches made of bamboo.
Bridges: Design sustainable and ecological bridges with bamboo poles for over your pond or water feature.
Constructions for zoos: Create enclosures and fences for zoo animals using strong bamboo poles.
Room dividers: Divide spaces in your home or office with elegant bamboo room dividers for a subtle separation of rooms.
Walls: Build sturdy and aesthetically pleasing walls with bamboo poles for both indoors and outdoors.
Rain gutter: Use a halved Guadua bamboo pole as a rain gutter and connect it to a whole bamboo pole as a rain pipe.

Bamboo poles are very easy to 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, mortise and tenon connection are also possible.
How to use screws for 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 halve or split bamboo poles?
The hollow inside makes it easy to halve 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 saw the bamboo pole in two, for 2 half bamboo parts.
How to 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 pole. This means that paint, oil or varnish adheres perfectly to this type of bamboo.
Can bamboo poles go into the ground?
If you wish to place bamboo poles in the ground, we recommend applying the Bamboo Ground Protector 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.
