Chris, having been in Wisconsin, you'll know that there aren't very many bamboo stores available, much less at this time of year. We managed to locate , on the internet, a business called Bamboo Habitat, which sold us about 10 pieces each, of 3/4", 1", and 1 1/4" diameter, by 8' long Tonkin bamboo. We're currently experimenting with it, to determine what kind of joint connectioning, we're going to use. We aren't even certain, if FIRST will allow to use lashing, at the corners.
