I advise you to attach each group of 4 or 8 slats with the horizontal bar that holds them together. 14. Drink a glass under your bamboo pergola !

Like other natural materials, bamboo is apt to deteriorate over time, a factor that makes it susceptible to water damage.

You can therefore position the threaded rod next to the junction of the two bamboos of your future bamboo pergola, and measure the length.

Installation involves laying wooden bamboo mats over the rafters, attaching an asphalt liner using a nail gun, and cladding customized hand-cut copper tile shingles over the liner.

Using such a material for the roof helps control noise due to rain and protects from higher temperatures in summer.
