I did a search to see what some of you have recommended for island camp flooring. Many like standard pine boards as they seem to remain stable during the unheated season and seem to last forever, but... I have the opportunity to purchase some 5/8" thick x 3 3/4" wide "moso" bamboo hardwood flooring at a really fantastic (cheap) price. According to what I have read about bamboo, it is harder than red oak and more stable in a wet environment than any other hardwood floor.

Anyone have any experience in their camp either with bamboo or other hardwood flooring?? Does it remain relatively stable without shrinking with the extreme temperature changes that occur??

Thanks!!
