Description of the 50mm Half-Round Bamboo Pole:
NOTE: Please refer to the Additional Information tab for the full specification.
Our 50mm half round bamboo is the all-rounder of the range. Fixed side by side on battens, these half round bamboo poles turn a plain bar front, reception counter or kitchen island into a tropical feature. Run them vertically for a classic tiki bar look, or horizontally as wainscot below a dado rail. Wrapped around a square column or a steel post, they give the feel of a solid bamboo pillar at a fraction of the weight.
Every piece is molded from a real bamboo cane, so you get the true nodes, grain and slight taper of split bamboo, with color that stays even from piece to piece. Natural bamboo poles cut in half need sealing, crack along the grain and fade outdoors; ONETHATCH split bamboo poles are ASA all the way through. They resist cracking, rot and insects, and passed 5,000 hours of ASTM G155 accelerated weathering (Micom Laboratories, Canada) with no significant color change.
The 6 ft length means fewer joints and a faster install: pre-drill and fix with stainless screws into solid backing or battens at 45 cm, and cut the last piece to length on site.

- Full 50 mm (2 in) half-round profile, 25 mm high

- Molded from real bamboo for an authentic look
- Resists cracking, rot and insects
- Easy to install with stainless screws

Bamboo poles half round, for bars, walls and columns
Shops sell them as “2 in × 6 ft bamboo poles half rounds”, designers ask for bamboo poles half round, and specifiers write split bamboo cladding. They all mean this profile: a bamboo cane split lengthwise, ready to fix flat against a surface. Popular uses for the 50 mm size:
- Tiki and pool bars: vertical rows on the bar front, with a 40 mm half-round as the top and bottom trim.
- Wainscot and feature walls: horizontal rows below a dado rail in restaurants, spas and villa bathrooms.
- Column and post wraps: half-rounds fixed around a square column or steel post for a natural pillar look.
- Fences and screens: dressing the frame or face of a garden screen or Japanese-style bamboo fence.
- Resorts and theme parks: reception desks, kiosks, buffet stations and queue-line walls that must look natural and stand up to daily use.
Need a ready-made panel instead? Our half-round bamboo wall panel arrives as a 333 × 1800 mm sheet of rows. For a bolder profile, choose the 60 mm half-round bamboo pole. All three sizes are compared on our artificial split bamboo poles page.
Stock half-round poles are not fire-rated. An ASTM E84 Class A fire-retardant (FR) version is available to order for projects that need a fire classification. They are decorative cladding, not load-bearing.
