It's incredible stuff, and grows like a weed; several inches per day, especially if you don't WANT bamboo growing there. <br /><br />If you have unpleasant neighbors, plant bamboo along the fence line when you're ready to move out. They will never get rid of it.

It's pretty good in tension, but not so hot on shear forces. It WILL break. The key is to have enough bamboo so that at least some of the structural members are in compression to balance the shear loads. <br /><br />To Anon @ 12:39AM; Paracord is great in tension, has NO shear or compressive strength. Duct tape is pretty good in shear, and only so-so in tension; no compressive strength. So with these three materials, you're pretty well covered, as long as you have a LOT of duct tape.
