竹棚架在香港被廣泛用於建築，以尼龍帶綁成結捆綁接合。建築行業每年使用逾5百萬根竹竿，每根竹竿長6至7米。
成為一名搭棚師傅需要力量、技巧和才智，架設錯綜複雜的天幕牆和平台，其堅固程度足以承托一大批建築工人在上面。
Bamboo scaffolding is widely used in Hong Kong for construction with nylon straps tied into knots as couplers, binding more than 5
million bamboo rods, each 6 to 7 metres long, used every year by the construction industry.
It takes strength, skill and intellect to be a bamboo artist, erecting intricate webs of sky-high walls and platforms strong enough to hold a legion of construction workers.
