roof section of Temple Museum under construction with bamboo scaffolding Phuket Thailand
It is believed that the first bamboo scaffold in China was built some 5000 years ago while the basic framing systems and the erection methods were developed about two thousand years ago. Nowadays, in spite of open competition with metal scaffolds, bamboo scaffolds remain competitive and efficient in building construction in Hong Kong and the neighboring areas. Due to their high adaptability and low construction cost, bamboo scaffolds can be constructed within a comparatively short period of time in any layout following irregular architectural features of a building. Bamboo scaffolds are also cost and labor efficient, easy to handle, adjust and cut into peaces.
