Hong Kong’s Bamboo Scaffolding.
Bamboo has been used for centuries; the profession is believed to date back around 1,500 years and has many advantages compared to metal scaffolding.
It’s lightweight, cheap, strong, eco-friendly (completely recyclable), and it can be constructed quickly in any shape to follow the architectural features of a building.
Surprisingly, it’s also been shown to be more resistant to cyclones than metal scaffolding. Bamboo's internal cell-like structure allows it to withstand compression, making it an ideal material for scaffolding.
Bamboo's greatest weakness is its poor durability in its natural state. The material attracts insects and fungus, which cause decay, and untreated bamboo structures don't last more than a few years.
