Looking for ideas

Looking for ideas


Ive got about 200 sf of 3"x6 bamboo floor boards left over and Im brainstorming ideas for what to do. I am dream-sketching a treehouse for the boys and wonder how the bamboo would do outside. Anyone know? How bout as a rainscreen on a treehouse like this:


(Thats the model for our treehouse at the moment - were reaching for the stars...)

So will bamboo swell/contract enough left out in the elements to cause a problem on a rainscreen? Id rip it lengthwise into 1" wide planks, then fasten to furring strips. Will it pop the screws?

Other ideas for the bamboo: a table top (maybe a coffee table?), shelves for the downstairs closets, a bench...
