 One
reason for choosing bamboo
garden furniture is quite obvious – it is beautiful and
stylish. But another, just as important, reason for including bamboo
garden furniture in your garden décor is not quite so obvious:
bamboo garden furniture is environmentally friendly.
Whether you buy bamboo garden furniture for its style alone or for
reasons of environmental responsibility, it is good to know why purchasing
bamboo garden furniture rather than other types of wood furniture
is so environmentally responsible.
• Deforestation – the deforestation of our lands does
not simply lead to less shade. The loss of trees means a loss of habitat
for many different species of plants and animals. It affects precipitation,
flooding, evapotranspiration, and more water-related things. Deforestation
can affect climate, and more!
• Harvest – the plant does not need to be killed to harvest
– it’s roots stay in place.
• Quick growth – it does not take 100s of years for bamboo
to replace itself after harvest like other trees. It can grow at 2
inches an hour! It can be harvested every 2-5 yeras.
• Oxygen – bamboo can add more oxygen that its equivalent
in trees.
• Erosion control – its root system helps with controlling
erosion.
• Rainforests – if bamboo is used instead of timber, the
rainforests can be saved. Bamboo even has a greater yield of raw materials
for use.
• Renewable resource – bamboo is a renewable resource,
and it is adaptable to many different environments (there are about
1500 different species of bamboo).
• Food – bamboo is actually an important source of nutrition
for many people.
These are just a few of the reasons why choosing bamboo garden furniture
over wood furniture or outdoor furniture made from other materials
is so important.
Do not worry: bamboo garden furniture is actually very strong. In
truth, once bamboo has been treated, it forms a very hard and tough
wood that is also very light. This tough wood is used not just to
make bamboo garden furniture, but it is also used in the construction
of houses, bridges, fences, and more. In fact, it is even used as
a substitute for steel reinforcing rods (used in concrete construction).
It is the strongest woody plant on earth.
Of course, one thing that you must be aware of is that bamboo garden
furniture is prone to infestation by wood-boring insects if not treated
properly. You need only to treat it with wood preservatives and follow
other manufacturer’s instructions, and your bamboo garden furniture
should be fine, though.
