Q: What about maintenance of the bamboo unit?

Q: What about the bases for my "Bahay Kubo"?
A: It really does depend on the sighting of the unit they can sit on a concrete base or slabs, but in a windy location we can either chain them to the concrete or sink anchors to keep these units down, but, please understand these units are NOT light anyway.
