Bamboo, the new fiberglass

Forget fiberglass fenders, I'm going for bamboo...

 

I'd hit it with some kind of termite solution once a year

 

Seems fairly eco friendly

 

Actually, bamboo is not wood (it's a grass), so no appeal to termites.

Also, from http://www.calibamboo.com/whybamboo.html

As a result, in structural engineering tests bamboo has been shown to have...

• Higher tensile strength than many alloys of steel
• Higher compressive strength than many mixtures of concrete
• Higher strength-to-weight ratio than graphite

I'm telling you glass is yesterday, bamboo is the answer!
