This paper focus on the process of fiber reinforced composites a significant portion of the paper emphasis the use of different machine, basic concept introduced in this paper of molding method and pouring of epoxy, hardener and nano silica mixture with hand lay-up technique. This study aims to develop fibre-reinforced epoxy hybrid composites by using hand lay-up method. In this work different material used are Epoxy LY556, Hardner HY951, SiO<sub>2</sub> nano particle (Particle size 60-70 nm) and 90 degree bidirectionl wooven bamboo fibre. Sample designated are as A10 ( One layer Babboo fibre, 0% SiO<sub>2</sub>) , A12 (2%SiO<sub>2</sub>), A14 (4%SiO<sub>2</sub>), B20 (Two-layer bamboo fibre,0% SiO<sub>2</sub>), B22(2%SiO<sub>2</sub>), B24(4%SiO<sub>2</sub>), C30 (three layer bamboo fibre, 0% SiO<sub>2</sub>), C32(2%SiO<sub>2</sub>) and C34(4%SiO<sub>2</sub>). Samples were prepared by hand lay-up method. The effect of various weight percent of SiO2on mechanical property were investigated. The maximum value of tensile strength was found for sample C32, higher value of flexural strength was found for sample C32, higher value of izod impact test was for sample C32 and maximum value of barcol hardness was for sample B22.
