The reason I ask is that our 2nd pond had a gristmill and DH made it from wood, with pretty much the arrangement you indicated. The top hinged up so that one could get to the mechanisms. Anyway, it was made from wood and the wood became so soaked with water and heavy and started to rot after a couple of years. We had to take it down - so you may want to give it some thought. Bamboo may hold up to water, better - but you may want to look into what happens when it is consistently wet.
