Exotic Harwood Decking
Exotic Decking Woods - The Big Four:
-There are many different exotic decking woods, most from South Africa. Exotics tend to be stronger and more dense than the common domestic woods - pine, cedar and redwood - and also more robust than composite decking. They are generally more resistant to insects as well. Exotics will perform and look good for years.
-In addition to decks, exotic woods are used in the construction of many outdoor projects including: outdoor kitchens & living areas, patios, pergolas, outdoor showers, bridges, boardwalks, retaining walls, boat docks, planters, and benches, to name a few.
-The 4 bestselling species are available, but if you have another type of exotic decking wood in mind, ask us about it.
-We also supply everything else you might need for installation - check out our "Clips, Sealers, Tools & Such" page.
Sustainably harvested & legally imported - Wood imported from South America (everywhere outside the US, really) is subject to strict importation laws. Foreign mills must provide documentation to buyers that the wood was grown and harvested according to their own country's regulations, which have also gotten much more stringent over the past few years. Any wood imported into the United States must comply with The Lacey Act regulations, which verify the wood has been legally and sustainably harvested and is safe to bring into the US. This includes inspections and documentation for each shipment.

Ipe Decking - top of the line. Can't hammer a nail through it; won't float; 1A fire rating - same as steel & concrete. Bugs don't like to eat it; lasts for years and it's beautiful. Also available grooved for invisible clip systems (like this pic).

Cumaru Decking - also very strong and beautfful. Not quite as hard as Ipe but will last a long time, too.
|
Tigerwood Decking - If you like a wood with "character", this is it. Strong and dramatic at the same time.
|
Garapa Decking - lighter in color and also lighter in weight. Still very strong and beautiful. Looks great paired with Tigerwood (see our Projects page).
