Build Beautifully This Summer with Bamboo: Cladding and Decking That Lasts

Summer is the season to live outdoors. The light is bright, the days are long, and every space becomes an invitation to step outside. It’s the perfect time to upgrade the places where you’ll spend the warmest months of the year — and bamboo is one of the best materials to do it with.

Bamboo decking and cladding from Plantation Bamboo are tailor-made for New Zealand’s climate: strong, durable, and warm in tone, they create outdoor surfaces and façades that last well beyond a single season.

Bamboo X-treme Cladding

Bamboo X-treme® cladding is a dense, high-performance exterior plank made from compressed strand-woven bamboo. Thanks to a patented “Thermo-Density” heat-treatment process, the cladding becomes exceptionally hard, stable, and resistant to moisture and decay — ideal for façades, feature walls or fences. Its clean, minimalist finish and consistent profile make it a great match for contemporary architectural styles. Over time, the natural bamboo weathers to a silvery patina, or you can preserve the rich tone with light surface oiling. Because it’s low-maintenance, fire-resistant, and sustainably produced, X-treme cladding offers a realistic, long-lasting alternative to traditional hardwoods.

Bamboo X-treme Decking

If you’re after a premium deck surface, Bamboo X-treme® decking delivers. Made from the same high-density, compressed bamboo as the cladding, these decking boards stand up to harsh sun, heavy rain, and seasonal temperature swings with stability and durability. The boards install easily using hidden stainless-steel clip fixings — no visible screws, and a clean, modern look. The finish is hard and dense like authentic hardwood, but with a unique bamboo texture and grain. Best of all, the decking has a 25-year structural warranty, meaning it’s built to stay solid underfoot for decades.

Bamboo N-Durance Decking

For those seeking a lighter timber-look decking option with a more classic finish, Bamboo N-Durance decking is a strong pick. It offers solid durability and the same natural bamboo character, while delivering a slightly different aesthetic. With simple annual oiling and basic care, N-Durance decking provides a beautiful, natural surface for patios, gardens or pool decks, and remains an environmentally responsible choice.
