We use bamboo only for interior works and 2 storey scaffolding purposes for not more than 2 level / storey structures…

Here is an online search for bamboo vs steel scaffolds – https://www.google.com/search?client=avast-a-3&q=bamboo+scaffolds&oq=bamboo+scaffolds&aqs=avast..69i57j0l7.2586j0j9&ie=UTF-8 – Simply click on it…

Here are quotes from that same search (articles):

– “Bamboo scaffolding is being used in China and Hong Kong instead of steel for several reasons. Bamboo actually has a greater tensile strength than steel. It is also much cheaper to use, and completely environmentally friendly.”

– “Bamboo scaffolding is extremely strong and resilient. It has a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch, in comparison to steel which is 23,000 per square inch. (Which is the preferred material in westernised countries.) May 26, 2022”

Western parts of the world cannot use bamboo because it will be very expensive for them since bamboo is usually found in asia…

Bamboo is also used for asian outrigger boats for eons even until now – because it is not affected by rust when exposed to the elements…
