Here is a place I bought 8ft bamboo a bundle of 50 for just under $75 They
have longer ones too
I think up to 15 but shipping goes way up.
You can just over lap two 8ft poles hose clamp them and get your size and
cut off what you don't need.
They told me its alot cheaper if you stay 8ft and under.
I drove up to the warehouse and the people are real ncie to deal with.
They are in lakeland, Fla and you will see from their page.
