Project of the Month Contest at Cali Bamboo

As a student at Brigham Young University, Alex won second place in a national design competition for his bamboo composite bridge. He and his friends Steve and Roger got the idea after researching various natural plant fibers and discovering how incredibly strong re-engineered bamboo strips are. He plans on spending his winnings on more bamboo for new designs and hopes to develop the green building materials of tomorrow. Cali Bamboo supports you Alex!

Bill from Encinitas, California gave his yard (and home) an entire bamboo makeover with black bamboo fencing, several gates, a Bamdeck composite patio and mocha horizontal organic bamboo floors. Why all this bamboo mania? Bill says he chose the green material for its sustainability, durability and beauty. The rest of the yard features hardscape and boulders from a local quarry, organic composting systems and drip irrigation.

Tim created this eye-pleasing outdoor shower using natural bamboo fencing and reclaimed lumber. The New Yorker writes that the project demonstrates how simply the bamboo fencing can be used for a very unique design.

Here’s a bamboo project we’ve definitely never seen before. Gary, from Macon, Georgia used natural bamboo slats to cover video game consoles at this tropical-themed dentist’s office. He writes that people should vote for his project because “these are the coolest video games you will ever see.” At the very least, it’s one brilliant way to get kids to like the dentist!
