[1] They are woven into various intricate traditional patterns, often resulting in repeating diagonal, zigzag, or diamond-like shapes.
Bamboo is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio similar to timber, and its strength is generally similar to a strong softwood or hardwood timber. [9] In its natural form, bamboo as a construction material is traditionally associated with the cultures of South Asia, East Asia, the South Pacific, Central and South America.
