Starting the process

Hi all!

I know there must be a thread for this question already but I thought I could ask it again for us nubes.

Can you all point me to the best source of “basic Tiki” wall material as I start my basement build?

Oceanic Arts is a devastating loss.

Thanks for any input in this.

Forever Bamboo is a great source, and they have a nice showroom here in San Diego https://foreverbamboo.com/

And this post from TikiDiablo has some great inspiration, including the common materials you’ll likely want to include. See attached screenshot. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CrguQ_AAozG/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Best of luck and share pics as you go!

Thanks so much! This is going to be a slow build but starting with the right material is a must.

I appreciate the direction!

let your fingers do the walking as forever bamboo is not the only place to get bamboo supplies. I have found several smaller places and look to local vendors as when you do the digging there are suppliers local to you.

I would love to find local dealers as I begin this process. Being in the Chicago area is a bit of a challenge in doing that however.

Thanks for the encouragement.
