Garapa decking is a premium high-density hardwood decking material renowned for its enduring strength and timeless beauty. With its warm golden tones, Garapa wood offers a lighter, more natural-colored option for your outdoor decking needs. As is characteristic of tropical high-density hardwood species, Garapa decking boasts both stunning aesthetics and exceptional durability. What sets it apart is its affordability, making it a cost-effective alternative to most synthetic decking products available in the market.
Compared to other high-density hardwood decking materials like Ipe and Cumaru, Garapa may be slightly softer, but it still ranks one and a half times harder than oak! Its fine grain and lighter hue differentiate it from Ipe and Cumaru decking. While Garapa displays some exotic graining and striping typical of high-density hardwoods, it maintains a more uniform color and grain pattern.
Garapa truly outshines other wood decking materials, especially when compared to softwood options like pressure-treated pine and cedar. It boasts superior hardness, strength, and durability. Garapa can even be left to weather naturally, gradually acquiring a silvery gray patina without requiring staining or oiling, offering an effortless maintenance advantage. In contrast, cedar and pressure-treated decking necessitate regular staining, painting, or sealing to protect the boards from rot, checking, splitting, or cracking.
Beyond its affordability, Garapa decking exhibits remarkable longevity. Mataverde Premium Garapa Decking comes with a 25-year limited warranty against decay and insect infestation, assuring a lasting investment. The long-term life cycle costs of Garapa decking and other high-density hardwood species stand as one of the most economical choices among all decking materials.
Embrace the allure of Garapa decking for your outdoor spaces, combining affordability, aesthetics, and durability in one. Make your outdoor area a testament to Brazilian Wood Depot’s expertise in Brazilian hardwoods.
