Bamboo grows so fast why don%26#039;t we use it more often for building?

i dont think it grows big a nuff

They do for hardwood flooring and that%26#039;s about all it can be used for. try building anything structural out of a bunch of big tubes. wont work which is why there are building codes.

they could use bamboo synthetic fireproof plastic the list can go on if we thought about. The sad thing is the lumber company and the construction company makes the vast majority of houses. If you want a house built out of bamboo go for it but i doubt new technology in house building will become commercial any time soon.
