cane baskets for general purposes
Quick Reference Values
Tolerance on nominal dimensions± 5 percent
Moisture content of caneNot excessive to prevent fungal decay
Basket capacity rangeTypically 5 to 20 liters based on nominal sizes
Practical Notes
Ensure that the cane used is free from borer attacks, fungal decay, and brittleness.
Baskets used for heavy material handling (like earthmoving on sites) should be regularly inspected for unraveled weaves at the base to prevent load failure.
Protruding cane ends must be properly tucked to prevent hand injuries to laborers.
