Poles - Rattan | Caneplex Design

Rattan is a common name for several species of climbing plants whose flexible nature and easy availability have made them a popular choice for furniture design. Caneplex Design rattan poles are 250 to 600 cm high and 1.5 to 20 cm thick, to suit not only small-scale applications but also lightweight shelter structures.

Material Sourcing

Caneplex Design natural materials are a product of selective cultivation and specific harvest time, which have been physically dried, heat-treated and disinfected before and after insertion, and their colour is completely natural, resulting in hue variation. For each one of them, the quality control is carried out by local partners while being subjected to phytopathological inspection before and during import.

Bamboo Maintenance

Vertical cracks can occur in bamboo poles. Just like wood, bamboo expands or shrinks when temperature or humidity conditions change. Cracks, however, have no effect on the durability of a bamboo fence. An important factor in maintaining bamboo products over time is the right placement and support. The connection-weaving is external or internal. Caneplex uses galvanised wire - stainless steel - laminated galvanised-black, depending on the kind.

It is advisable to use a wood preservative (fungicide) and water-soluble (preferably) wood varnish, colourless or in close tint, initially and at regular intervals of 2-3 years. That way the material is protected from fungus, the colour does not fade straight away, it is infused and preserved beyond the anticipated time.
