He mentions that bamboo can mature fast with little maintenance and is   b eing harvested in various places around the world. Being a lightweight material, bamboo is available at a low cost in these areas and is easy to transport. He also notes that while bamboo is often referred to as an alternative for steel, it is quite fragile and requires treatment and protection from various natural circumstances.
