Round Bamboo, 3.5 ft lengths

This traditional kite supply has been used to make kites for thousands of years. Round bamboo dowels are strong yet flexible, economical, easy to work with, and can be bent to specific shapes using heat.  Each dowel is smooth and does not have bamboo’s shiny skin along the outside. We have a variety of sizes to design, build, and repair your kite.

The choice of materials depends on the type of kite. Fiberglass rod, for example may be ideal for the flexible bow of a fighter kite but inappropriate for the rigid frame of a box kite, where dowel is better.
