About our Bamboo

Hi, I’ve been working on a table design for bell tents but can also be used on any round poles and are perfect for opening a space up where a pole stands, great as a standing bar table or your spa areas ect. I was wondering if your company would be interested in trying some out this year. These tables are made from 18mm Bamboo keeping them sustainable and sturdy. These will fit the 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7m bell tents also the wooden poles. Can be adjusted at any height suited up and down the pole, they are easy to fit and remove with just two nuts holding them securely together. They are sanded and oiled with high grade food oil. For more info, please get back to me. I have linked some videos and pictures of the product below. 

Also, I’m currently looking for work in Glastonbury this year, did a full season last year working with "vintents" doing build n break with bell tents and vintage cotton canvas tents. I would love to get involved with a crew. I’m a keen worker and enjoy meeting new people. if there is anything available I can send over my CV.

Thanks,

Callum.

Made from 100% responsibly sourced bamboo. Bamboo plywood offers a sustainable alternative to traditional timber and MDF. As a giant grass, bamboo is a non-timber forest product, but can be used for all the same applications as timber ply.

Bamboo grows rapidly and is harvest-ready in typically 3-5 years. Harvesting selected mature bamboo poles does not damage the forest, but further stimulates growth of the mother plant (like coppicing).

Processing then begins. The harvested Moso bamboo is cut into thin strips with the outer skin removed and then planed. The strips are then lightly oven-baked in a controlled environment for a set time to remove the sugars. Here, the bamboo acquires its characteristic caramel colour (carbonisation). Finally, the carbonised bamboo strips are laid out in set formation and pressed with resin to form side-pressed and plain-pressed veneers and boards.

A clear varnish or wood oil in your choice of finish, such as Osmo® Top Oil, is recommended. Depending on the environment and intended end-use of the product, a few coats may need to be applied. Apply generously and then lay-off using a cloth. For best results, lightly sand in between applications. Always follow the varnish / oil’s label. Before application, test on a small inconspicuous area first. The boards can also be stained with water or oil-based colours (a top sealant may be required in the case of some water-based pigments, so follow the pigment manufacturer’s guidance).

To keep your bamboo boards and veneers looking their best, keep them dust free - occasionally wiping down with a damp cloth. Where the boards have been oiled, re-apply the oil annually or bi-annually (or more regularly if used in a busy area like a kitchen’s sink surround).
