Bamboo Building - Knots and Lashings - without nails
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ธ.ค. 2020
- Here are two bamboo knots that can be used to tie bamboos together with no nails. Clove hitch knot to tie two bamboos together using paracord rope. Tie the two bamboos with two clove hitch knots then finish it off with two overhand knots. The clove hitch is used for tying together pieces of the trellis roofing or used to make trellises. It allows the bamboos to move around. The tourniquet lashing is a very strong way to connect two bamboos together. This is used to tie the bamboo legs to the bamboo roof in bamboo building, like the bamboo hut shown at the end. The tourniquet lashing is also used to tighten the bases of the legs together. This bamboo hut is built on top of a wooden deck where eye-bolts are used to hold the bamboo to the platform using paracord rope. Green timber bamboo (Bambusa oldhamii) was used for the uprights and blue bamboo (Bambusa chungii) was used for the roof trellis.

Beautiful work
nice :)
Thank you so much ! Go bamboo 💚🙏
Thank you. Please keep sharing.
Glad you like my channel!
Thanks very much. I love bamboo and have been growing 4 types of timber bamboo and several other smaller species, black asper, Old Hamii, Latafloris, Java black and giant Buddha belly. My intention is to use these for garden buildings, so your tying techniques are very interesting as I am not keen on using metal or screws. Thanks
Awesome, Tia!!! Thank you :)
No problem 😊
Really Nice!!
Thank you Tia. Here I am in Brazil learning from you about bamboo work. Since I was a kid I love to do bamboo work. THANKS again. It is an amazing artwork basic raw material.
Glad you are learning! I did a bamboo building class in Colombia and also learned from a Brazilian woman, Julia Teles, who had a degree in bamboo engineering. Check out the video of the bamboo structure we built th-cam.com/users/shortsq_JxrExrSTA?si=ARnf1cc9lmn-fiYC
Thanks Tia, I thought it was going to be much more complicated-at least you have made it look easy!
The knots and lashing are pretty easy, but its easy to forget how to do it if you don't practice. I actually made this video for myself so I wouldn't forget and I can show my bamboo building students.
I learned so much from this video, thank you for sharinv your knowledge
Thank you Tia! Saludos de Argentina
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Amazing !
Very well explained, Tia!
Glad you think so!
LOVE IT ... FABULOUS videos thanks a bunch 🤗 💚
You are so welcome!
I am going to try this! Thank you.
This is truly fascinating 😎
I learned the tourniquet technique during my time in the boy scouts in Belgium. This was not in the standard technical curriculum of the regional boy scouts but I loved this idiosyncrasy of our chapter (in the Boutersem municipality) since it gives a more robust result than standard (square) lashing. The tourniquet lashing technique in my experience wears out the chord by choking it on the section just below the tourniquet: I'm thinking on how to modify the method so as to address this problem.
Thanks very much for this really useful knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
Mahalo Tia!
Thank you! I did not like the idea of drilling holes or using nails.
Thank you! I am zi excited now 😆.
It’s fun to do some bamboo building. Check out my other video too about my bamboo hut. Glad you’re enjoying the video!
Thanks
Mahalo for your teaching.
My pleasure!
I was trying to learn how to make a bamboo support for my tomato and found this. Excellent instruction, Tia! Would lash techniques work on smaller bamboo?
Yes, absolutely. I do two cloves and then tie it off with two square knots.

thank you
You're welcome
How did you attach the regular wood to the bamboo?
Thank you for this good information. RPB Nov29, 2021
Glad it was helpful!
Im in the middle of doing all the junctions in my giant trellis set up. I used plastic tie straps to get everything in place and up.
But now i want to us the paracord to tie them all off.
I bought sime nylon string and some jute string to use, but just dont feel good about it and it is tough to work with. The roll started to unroll, the string gets tangled.
So im off to get sime paracord and continue with it.
Thank you for this and You are also beautiful
Thank you!
excellent video I'm wanting to build a backyard carport similar to your structure, I live in centrel Alabama we have bamboo everywhere however I can't find thick poles thickest I find is like 2.5 inches. am I not looking hard enough? did you use regular wood (none bamboo) as the Turna kit then screw the metal roof into Turna kit? Steve
We used the buddha belly bamboo for tourniquet pieces since it is very strong. We did use some regular wood for screwing in the roofing screws.

When you did your tourniquet lashing for the base of your structure, you had more loops around the three bamboos at the base compared to your initial illustration. Was the method different as far as the number of loops go on your structure with the three Bamboo posts?
Yes I put a lot more at the bottom and still think about reinforcing it some more. Other bamboo builders cement the bases together or weld metal holders for the bamboo feet.
Thanks. I'm just afraid that this kind of rope does not last very long ?
Great video, my question is what other cord can you use outdoors besides paracord that it would stand the weather, thanks from Argentina
Paracord, nylon or something synthetic works well. Also old electrical cords, thats what you will see a lot in Central America.
@@TiaSilvasy muchas gracias
hi thnks a lot for your bamboo joinery haver you got more information about this for me, please
Check out my other videos on my bamboo playlist th-cam.com/play/PLMHLzlxsLo3eunKmZRndMP1yMQFtbq3LC.html
what cord would be more sun resistant? thanks!
I find the paracord works best. I burn the loose edges of it. There could be other ropes too. I'm open to suggestions.
Do you also build with uncured bamboo?
Yes, but only for nonstructural projects like bamboo siding on a shed or decoration.
is this fresh cut bamboo
Any idea where they sell this type of bamboo?
In Central Florida there are two bamboo nurseries, Bamboo Forever and Beautiful Bamboo. Its a pretty common type.
Bambo cutting machine price please I like this
What sort of winds can this handle?
Bamboo bends with the wind. It does great in hurricanes. Some people use it as a windbreak too.
Cool bout to build a enclosure for a generator on my buddys property, and maybe a grow house also
Good explanation but we can't see because your fingers and hands are in the way of life knots
Thanks for the constructive feedback! I will try to do a better job in my filming.
I live in Assam I buy a machine please give me a machine
Nylon rope not good
Thanks for your comment! What kind of rope would be better than paracord?
Everything from Nature instead of refined petroleum?
👍👍🤙🤙
