Description
Known as “Iron Bamboo,” Tam Vong is the strongest species of bamboo available. Tam Vong solid bamboo poles have a tensile strength greater than steel in its comparable size, making it an ideal selection for exterior as well as interior applications. The density of Tam Vong’s thick walls and impressive modulus of elasticity provide superior performance in commercial projects. These dense walls resist splitting from heat and the elements unlike other varieties of bamboo species.

Benefits of Solid Bamboo Versus Thin Walled Bamboo Poles
- Solid bamboo poles are robust similar to typical building timbers which allows the poles to accept screws and nails with nominal cracking or splitting, if any at all.
- Wall thickness of solid bamboo is between 55% and 99% of the diameter of the pole, providing structural durability and versatility.
- In longer lengths, solid bamboo poles are slightly flexible.
- Solid, Natural Bamboo can be sanded to then accept stain or paint to meet your project needs.
