PROJECTS: Shiorido Bamboo Gate
Japanese Garden TV, youtu.be/7O7HMcTG5J0.
I wish I had access to their bamboo inventory!
1. CUT THE POLES
Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the poles. For the
cleanest edge, rotate the pole in the jig as you cut.
Vertical gate pieces should be about 36" long,
with a node at the top (Figure
B
). Horizontal
pieces should be about 32". Use 1¼" diameter for
vertical, ¾" diameter for horizontal.
2. JOIN THE FRAMEWORK
After positioning the poles to minimize any
obvious zigzag, mark the vertical poles for the
location of the horizontal poles. Drill each hole
in one side of the vertical pole, not all the way
through, sized just under the smallest cross-
section diameter of the horizontal pole. Do not
use excessive pressure or bamboo may split.
