Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I know this has nothing to do with Datsun's other than the fact that I used my 720 to haul the supplies [bamboo] A few weeks ago I scored ALOT of FREE bamboo off CL for a project ive always wanted to do since we moved. Ill let the pics do the talking... I bought the fencing & torches @ Home depot other than that this was all free. I notched the ends of the bamboo so the ends fit snug, then drilled holes & held them together with thick zip ties. Its strong enough to allow me to do a pull up & the wind wont destroy it. All we need now is new chairs & a few beverages to enjoy the San diego sunset's :cool: :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
intense 620 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 thats awesome now you just need to figure out how to make it portable so we can enjoy the river sunsets too! Ace hardware actually had some really cool comfy wooden chairs that were like $20 for the pair. my brother has them in his front yard. ;) Quote Link to comment
burrito213 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 it may be a long shot but one of my co workers got alot of bamboo shoots from a movie set than are just laying in the back of our shop... If you need more let me know.... How about I take some pics and you make the call ;) Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is that house yours? You should overlay bamboo over the stairs if you ever find the extra time and free supplies. Quote Link to comment

With that torch lit it would have been a killer shot. I might have to take you up on that offer one day. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Oh boy look what i scored yesterday for free........... I may make a few chairs out of it & maybe cups like the ones Gilligan drank from on Gilligan's island :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Freakin' sweet! I don't have any bamboo around here. Keep debating about making an upstairs deck in conjunction with the walnut tree in my front yard. I'd rather like to be able to barbecue above the roof of the house, though that might not be a good idea on a wood deck in a tree... Quote Link to comment
