====================================

Planks and scantlings are made of bamboo slats.

They are the design elements for end products for indoor and outdoor use such as frames, windows, doors, veneers, furniture and also equestrian systems (boxes).

You can also find wood as supplement or replacement material.

Bamboo planks have very excellent features.

These include

- Dimensional stability
- Torsional stiffness
- Low shrinkage allowances.

From the o Gen. reasons, they are suited for the production of equestrian sport systems such as horse boxes.
