Sourcing:  All of our bamboo is grown in Java, Indonesia. Mostly in our local area of Blitar, East Java but also from Central area's & West Java if required. It is sustainably managed & cut by hand, using only hand tools.

Harvesting:  All our bamboo poles are harvested by hand, using hand tools. The side shoots are removed & are then cut to length before been transported to our drying area for seasoning. It is mostly cut during the 'dry' season, which makes the bamboo more durable, less prone to damage, easier to handle & quicker to season.

Seasoning:  For a period of 2 months, the bamboo is slowly rotated as it dry's to avoid any discolouration & to ensure that they are evenly dried. The poles are heat straightened during this period as well if required.

Storage:   Once they have been seasoned, they are dry stored in well ventilated units off of the ground, in small stacks to avoid any crushing & to maintain straightness.

Shipping:  We can bundle any quantity for you for shipping, or send as a full loose container load.
