Expertise Meets Dedication

Nine years ago, Steve and Kim embarked on a journey fuelled by the vision of integrating sustainability into homes and businesses across New Zealand.

Discovering bamboo was a revelation. “We fell in love with the bamboo products when we first saw them. We loved the sustainability story of bamboo and could see the potential for the future,” Steve recalls.

Their journey from passionate pioneers to leaders in the bamboo industry is a story of dedication, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence.

Witness the Impact of Bamboo

Plantation Bamboo’s partnership with MOSO Bamboo, a world leader in bamboo innovation, was a pivotal step in ensuring access to premium quality, sustainably sourced bamboo products.

We are installing the bamboo extreme onto 2 decks. First one is nearly complete and second one still in the framing stage. So far we are loving it. Great to work with, looks amazing and so lovely not to see all those fixings. Based on my sums, I dont think there's any difference in price between the cost of Plantation Extreme Bamboo (which is supplied with hidden fixing clips) and Kwila with fancy decking screws. You can also rest easy with the knowledge that your deck is not made from the products of unsustainable and possibly illegal kwila deforestation (only found out about that when trying to buy kwila furniture to go onto the deck). Ill try to remember to add some pics when its all complete. A 25 years warantee is also piece of mind given one of the 2 decks is an exercise in board replacement after the old pine was cracked and slumped between the joists after about 20 years.
We are thoroughly delighted with our coffee bamboo flooring, extreme decking, and bamboo panel kitchen bench. It looks beautiful, wears really well, is easy to clean, and the flooring and decking were incredibly easy to install. We love it's sustainability profile and it's very competitive pricing. We highly recommend this product
Had a really positive experience getting our flooring ordered, delivered and installed. We were also recommended an installer who did a great job and really did the product justice. We’re incredibly happy with how the flooring looks in our place! Can’t recommend enough.
We have had an excellent experience with Steve and Plantation Bamboo. We went with the builder and had a look at Steve's Plantation Bamboo deck before we purchased. The builder likes it as he is able to get very precise joins. Very responsive, quick delivery. Nice product.
Very happy with Plantation Bamboo decking - looks great and quick & easy to install. Recommended. Steve more than helpful with planning, order & delivery.
Rich-looking, thick, hard wood flooring, easily laid if prepped properly. Price reasonable compared with other flooring options like tiles or carpet. It suits our overall decor so we're very satisfied with it.It was easy to order through Steve Roughan, was held in storage for us at no extra cost until our new-build was ready for it, and then delivered as arranged.
Plantation Bamboo in Otaki provided the bamboo decking for our recent building project.Plantation Bamboo's 25-year warranty made it an attractive option. The final result is stunning, with a sleek and seamless appearance thanks to the straight and true nature of the bamboo boards and the hidden fixings.Steve Roughlan, the owner of Plantation Bamboo, was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was prompt in his communication and delivery, and he gladly answered our questions both during and after the sale.Based on our positive experience, I highly recommend Plantation Bamboo for your decking needs.
Super easy to install with the quick clip fasteners - no need to drill holes or screw into the boards. Looks fantastic, 6 months since deck install and super happy with it. No splinters. Company easy to deal with and delivery no problem
We've ordered bamboo decking on 3 different projects at our home over the last 5 years. I couldn't speak more highly of Ingrid and this company! The product is beautiful, and the customer service is fantastic! I highly recommend!!!
We found this product whilst googling for an eco friendly bamboo product to use on our deck at our bach. We wanted easy installation, good coloring and hard wearing. I'm happy to say this product ticks all the boxes! Communication from the sales team was great and collection from the depot was straightforward. Highly recommend this product, A++
Fantastic Product - Efficient Team
Wonderful job done by Plantation Bamboo.The installer was awesome as was our agent.
These guys were amazing, it was a last minute decision to use their product and they worked hard with us to ensure we got the product and talked through the installation with our builder. It has created a fantastic finish to our newly installed heated pool in our holiday park.
We have just had coffee bamboo laid in our entrance hall, kitchen and living room. It replaced tiles (20 years old) from our entrance hall and kitchen and 20 year old carpet from our living room.Very pleased with the result, the communication and advise from Steve. Would recommend Bamboo Plantation.
It’s not the first time that I approached Plantation Bamboo for projects I designed. This month once again I find an excellent team that is ready to provide high quality products and provide solutions in real time and always quick to respond and help. Specifically I would like to mention Eveliene Grbich, Area Sales Manager, that went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have just completed our deck using Plantation Bamboo and cannot speak high enough about the Extreme decking. It was easy for our contractor to lay and looks amazing. Dealing with Steve and the plantation team has been simple and they have been there to answer any questions. Thanks Steve and we look forward to enjoying our new deck for many years to come.
Thanks to the Plantation Bamboo team for an amazing hassle free experience.Especially Ingrid, our South Island manager who promptly answered our questions, sorted our dimensions and made the whole exercise easy.Highly recommended product that looks fabulous on our 52sq m deck so easy to install. Love it!!
As a non-builder, the prospect of replacing our deck covering was a little daunting. After looking at a range of options, I opted for Bamboo X-treme decking and I doubt that I could have made a better choice. Josh at Plantation Bamboo was great to deal with being both helpful and responsive. The product was easy to work with and I completed the job reasonably quickly with my wife and son taking turns to help out. The completed deck looks and feels as good as I could have imagined.
Awesome product and great customer service. Wears extremely well in Southland conditions and weathers with a nice look. Easy to clean when marked.
One of our clients wanted to use Planation Bamboo as a sustainable choice for her pool deck. We had not used this product before and we were blown away by the quality and ease of installation. Not only that, but Ingrid and her team were easy to communicate with and super helpful. I also appreciated having the install videos and specifications on the website so they were easy to access. Would definitely recommend this product to other clients and use myself!
Awesome product according to the installer. Really well tooled. So happy with the result 😊Also have decking product being installed. Looks amazing.
Enjoying our newly laid bamboo flooring - eco-friendly & easy to install! Makes the space look modern, easy lifestyle and bigger. Our builder's laid flooring in the open plan living area and into the bedrooms, seamlessly. Always received professional and responsive customer service by email or phone. The samples we were sent helped to decide suitability & colour before placing an order.
Our Plantation Bamboo X-treme deck looks amazing, even better than the photos on the website. We have had so many great comments that I am sure we will have friends and family using the same decking. Our builder loved the product so much I think this will become his 'go to' recommendation. Steve and Kim provided such wonderful and friendly service, they even arranged rural delivery for us. I absolutely recommend Plantation Bamboo.
Short and sweet, this is a fantastic product. It's a high quality, durable, eco friendly product which is easy and fun to install. This was such a motivating and exciting project and the overall outcome was absolutely priceless. I would totally recommend this product to whoever is wanting a long lasting, high-quality, easy to install and looking to add a ton of value to your property. Steve and the team have been amazing to deal with and I'm looking forward to completing many more projects in future.
Great product.
With so many flooring choices we are absolutely delighted we choient for Vanilla Bamboo.We laid it throughout the house and have no regrets.Steve helped us through the sales process and any answered all the questions we had.Our builder who laid the floor was impressed with the quality which made laying simple.
Love the bamboo decking from Plantation Bamboo. Used it for the fence as well. Looks stunning. Really appreciated the help from Ingrid and Steve. It's still a work in progress!
Plantation Bamboo turned out to be the perfect flooring product for us. Solid, good looking and easy to install. They are a great company to deal with, excellent communication and very keen to help.
Product is exactly as advertised, goes down easily and looks great once completed. Highly recommend Plantation Bamboo.
We had a great experience with Plantation Bamboo. Steve Roughan was very helpful, from organising the material, getting it delivered and even suggesting installers who we used (West Construction). Due to the design and style of Plantation Bamboo, installation only took a day and it looks great!! Quick and easy through the whole process. Thanks heaps, really impressed.
