Does anybody know anything about using bamboo decking in humid weather, like Hong Kong and the durability of bamboo when exposed to the elements? Thank you.

Bamboo rots and bamboo dries out and cracks. Both bamboo species used and preservation methods chosen will affect just how durable it is.

For example, see http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00107-013-0707-2#/page-1

Thanks very much, everybody! I have also found both these perspectives in my research. Will explore further.
