Exterior Hardwood Decking — Catalog

Exterior Hardwood Decking

An exterior deck is the hardest-working surface on a building: full sun, standing water, freeze-thaw, and foot traffic, all at once. Naturally durable tropical hardwood handles that without chemical treatment — the density that makes these species hard also makes them inhospitable to rot and insects — which is why a hardwood deck is measured in decades rather than seasons.

This is the broadest category in the catalog, covering the decking line end to end: S4S eased-edge boards in the standard 5/4x6 and 1x6 dimensions, grooved profiles for hidden-fastener systems, 4x4 posts, 2x2 balusters, handrail stock, bullnose stepping for stair treads, and 24-inch deck tiles.

Species run from Ipe and Cumaru at the top of the hardness scale through Batu, Bangkirai, Massaranduba, and Angelim Pedra, plus the ExoShield finishes used to hold their color.
