Garapa Wood Decking Cape Town
Garapa decking is a hard-wearing and durable timber that starts out golden to yellowish brown and ages to a lovely grey with time. It comes from South America and is one of the most popular decking options. Despite its hardness and density, it is relatively easy to work with, and it glues and finishes well.
Garapa is a high-density, highly durable hardwood species that is ideal for use in exterior structures, including decks, wood siding, wood rainscreen, and more. Garapa’s beautiful golden tones will enhance your project with a warm, natural look.
High-density exotic hardwood decking materials, such as Garapa decking and other species like Ipe decking, are truly the best decking material options available. Garapa is beautiful, can handle heavy foot traffic, and offers a lighter-colored decking material option for your deck. The lower cost of Garapa also makes it an affordable choice for hardwood decking material.
