How do You Find the Maximum Height of a Bamboo Arch?
How do you find the maximum height of a bamboo arch if you know its length?
⭐ Best Answer:
If you want to find the maximum height of the arch, cut a string the same length as the bamboo, and hang it from two points. That is your arch, upside down. You can impregnate the string with wet plaster, wait for it to harden, and then lay it sideways, and use it as a guide to stake, bend, cut, and shape your bamboo. Just pay attention to the bamboo, and don't let it snap.
Also, make sure your cuts are angled to the focal point, which is an imaginary point between the two points your strung your string two, and should be at the base of your arch. The focal point will be in the middle of those two points, along the line of the shortest distance between them.
