Building with bamboo?

Asked by Jonathan_hodgkins (684points) October 1st, 2010

We are going to be attaching some sturdy plastic roofing material to large 3” diameter bamboo shoots spanning the length of the roof. Several questions. The bamboo shoots are hollow in the middle. Would be necessary to use a screw longer then 3” in order to put it through both sides of the bamboo? Also, is it more beneficial to use screws over nails?
