How to build a bamboo hut!

How to build a bamboo hut.

Bamboo Hut #1



First the builders cut lengths of bamboo

Bamboo Hut #2



Some bamboo is stripped off the branch and 'weaved' into large square sections which are lashed onto a bamboo frame.

Bamboo Hut #3



Some bamboo poles are driven into the ground and used to create a framework for the walls and roof

Bamboo Hut #4



The 'weaved' walls are attached to the framework and corrugated iron is used to make the roofs (before corrugated iron the roofs were thatched)

Bamboo Hut #5



A simple hearth is constructed from bricks. The floor is just levelled and pounded down earth also, over time the green colour of the walls fades.
