This has been the recent sight directly outside my kitchen window. The neighbours have been renovating their vacant bungalow ready for tenants to move in.
One day, a team of workers arrived and assembled this bamboo scaffolding up the side of the bungalow. This form of scaffolding is popular all over India, and can often be seen surrounding whole buildings and monuments. Although it doesn’t look very safe, it’s surprisingly functional — being strong, straight, lightweight, cheap and renewable.
However, its days could be numbered. Bamboo scaffolding has already been banned in many countries for safety and environmental reasons. I wonder if it will eventually be banned in India as well?
