Construction with coconut palms

I am getting questions from the field about construction with coconut palms in the Philippines:

How old can a tree be before we can harvest the leaves for making walls and roofs ? How easy is it to grow in salt damaged soil? Can you use the old trunks for planked wood? etc etc

Nice interesting question about the construction capacity of Coconut trees

Thanks in advance as always for your help Paul
