Bamboo Surface Treatment

I want to build a bamboo structure in Maharashtra, India with a very moderate rain fall. Would somebody please suggest me relatively inexpensive bamboo surface treatment which will make my structure safe for at least 20 years.


Best Answer:

You can treat bamboo with UV blocking polyurethane and it can last for many years. But you will need to re-coat it every year in moderate climates, and re-coat every 6 months in heavily rainy climates. But it does work. I find a gallon of UV blocking polyurethane runs about 40 to 50 bucks in the U.S. And it will coat and area approx. 50 feet long and 6 feet high thoroughly.
