Guadua bamboo is a South American bamboo species with extraordinary mechanical properties and is known as the strongest bamboo species in the world. Guadua has a high load-bearing capacity and a tensile strength comparable with that of steel. Guadua bamboo poles with a diameter of 7-9 cm are available in lengths up to 6 meters.

The 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, cladding or have other applications in mind, the structural properties of Guadua bamboo poles makes it possible. Furthermore, Guadua bamboo is perfect for biobased construction projects, making it an eco-friendly choice for any architecture.

  • 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 poles 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 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.

Bamboo poles are very suitable for working yourself. The operations 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 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 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 halve the bamboo pole with a saw so that you get 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 post. 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 you apply 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.
