WOOD DESCRIPTION

Garapa, a species grown in South America, is an exceptional economical choice for outdoor applications,
such as decking or siding. Low maintenance, its gold to tan coloring naturally weathers to a lovely silver-gray
over time, unless a UV protectorate is applied, and it has a natural propensity to resist rot. Garapa is dense,
stable, and hard, and is an excellent value given its longevity.
