OK. I have spent 2 hours in search and can't find the answer to my question. So...
We are building a palapa cover ovcer the pool bar/BBq island. We have 2 main supports (bamboo timber, 6" wide x 12' tall) and would like to build a frame and attach raincape thatch to it. It would be a long oval shape.
I am stumped on how to join all the ends of bamboo for the frame and to attach it all to the main posts. You can't put a nail in it. For regular construction with 2x4s, I use metal hangers. I can't depend on one screw through one side of each pole.
I wish there were some kind of kit, like the shade canopy I use at the river. It has those plastic connectors with a hole for each end of each pole!
So. Any tips would be great. I'm getting more and more frustrated as the weather gets nicer and nicer!!
It would be great if some one created a step by step instructional print out. With a materials list. I'd buy it!
Thanks!
