We have a customer looking to do a tiki style ceiling in one of the rooms of his house and I'm stumped trying to find this stuff anywhere in town. I've called the obvious places, but I'm not having any luck. Even my usual suppliers don't know where to get it.
I'm hoping somebody on here might know of an obscure place that sells the stuff in rolls (we need about 250-300sq.ft.).
We'd rather not do business on line so local would be preferred.

Example of what we're aiming for:

Use bamboo fencing, the supplier is in BC: http://www.bambooworld.com/bamboo-fencing

Or better yet...

In Ontario:

They seem to use the material on desk fronts, etc in these photos:

Maybe call Wickerland in the NW on Shaganappi south of Crowchild or just east of the Chinook LRT station - link (http://www.wickerland.ca/). Think I've seen stuff like that in the NW location.

They were the first place I called. No luck.
