Popular Woods for Decks: |
|
 |
|
Redwood is available in several grades which vary considerably in appearance and quality. The color will vary from a light red to a dark reddish-brown. A "Clear Heart" grade is the most durable grade because of its high resistance to decay. Redwood is a soft wood and weathers to a yellowish-red very quickly. |

|
Ipe (EE-Pay) is the finest quality wood available for decks. Ipe is an exotic hardwood that is naturally resistent to rot and decay. It is 8 times harder than California Redwood, and is guaranteed for 20 years without preservatives! These woods will turn silver gray very fast if not sealed or stained with an ultraviolet (UV) protector. |

Mahogany has a woven look to the grain with a courser texture. Not all mahogany has the resistance to decay needed for outdoor use. The medium to dark red and brown species are more resistant to decay. Although more durable than cedar and redwood, it is relatively soft compared to Ipe. |

Cyprus (a.k.a. Pacific Coast Cyprus) A harder wood than Western Redwood, Cyprus is becoming more popular due to its durability and easy care. The decking will turn naturally silver with age or can be stained a natural color after 6-8 months. It works well in high traffic areas. |
