Can these connectors be used for permanent structures?
They are durable for garden use but are best suited for seasonal or semi-permanent structures that may need to be dismantled or moved.
Troubleshooting
Bamboo cane does not fit securely
Ensure you are using bamboo canes of the appropriate diameter for the connectors. If the cane is slightly too small, a small amount of tape can be used to create a tighter fit. If the cane is too large, it will not insert.
Connector feels loose after assembly
Re-insert the bamboo canes, ensuring they are pushed as far as possible into the connector slots. Check that the canes are not damaged or split, which could affect their grip.
Connectors appear brittle
This may occur after prolonged exposure to extreme cold or UV. Inspect for cracks. Store in a protected area during winter months if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Simply insert the ends of your bamboo canes into the designated slots on the connectors. Ensure the canes are pushed in firmly to create a secure joint. For complex structures, plan your design before assembly.
Compatibility: These connectors are designed primarily for standard bamboo garden canes. While dimensions can vary slightly, they are intended to fit most common sizes. It is advisable to check the diameter of your bamboo canes against the connector's internal dimensions if you are unsure.
Care: Clean the connectors with a damp cloth as needed. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan. Avoid leaving them exposed to harsh weather for extended periods if possible.
