Bamboo Condo Idea, will this work?
I've never put out bamboo condos, but a friend of mine has a bunch on his property, so I thought I would give it a try. I have been putting out hardwood tops for years and that works great. But this is what I had in mind. To make it easier to get to the lake with the condos, I was thinking of putting a short 2x4 in a bucket of concrete and then screwing another piece of 2x4 on the other 2x4 to make a "T". Then I would attach several bamboo pieces to the 2x4 after I got to the lake with a string. I think this would work for a while at least since the bamboo floats and would stand up. My question is, how long would the bamboo float and stay upright? Would it eventually just sink to the bottom, or would it stay upright for at least a year or so? I tried screwing the bamboo to the 2x4's but they just split and wouldn't stay attached.
