bamboo
A roof-supporting framework made of bamboo sticks, rafts, or other bamboo elements.
A bamboo roof frame is an underlying support framework for a roof built out of bamboo sticks, bamboo rafts, or other elements constructed from bamboo.
Bamboo forms the underlying support for the roof. Individual sticks and assembled rafts are both included forms.
Bamboo used only as a surface covering does not establish this frame material. The designation concerns the elements that support the roof covering.
