RE: Bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong construction 竹棚架,香港建築業
What you said makes ample sense! When bamboo sticks can perhaps do 60% of the job steel sticks can do in stiffness and durability terms but are a whole lot cheaper. It makes $ sense to go for bamboo. Adding bamboo sticks to excess to make a platform or frame mechanically stronger probably may be still cheaper than using a minimum amount of steel for the same purpose. Just my wild guess :-)
