hi guys!!

I want to use bamboo sidewalls.

I have read the vertical lamination bamboo is right for sidewalls. But could somebody tell me exact bamboo materials?

And does it good for waterproof?

thanks!!

You want vertical grain bamboo. It's not water proof, but it doesn't seem to soak up a lot of water, and doesn't seem to swell up much with water. Probably still worth sealing it up with some kind of finish.

Boiled linseed oil, spar varnish or some other sealant for outdoor use.
