Garapa is sometimes known as "Brazilian Ash" or a "Brazilian Hardwood", a beautiful hardwood that has a golden to yellowish brown color that darkens with age. The wood appears to shift from dark to light coloring in different lighting angles, which gives the wood a unique and aesthetically interesting appearance. One of the biggest benefits of Garapa is its long-lasting durability. You will not need to worry about rot and decay because its high density and tight grain pattern makes it naturally resistant to both. Garapa is also scratch-resistant which makes it a top choice for outdoor living spaces.

Garapa's beautiful golden tones will enhance your project with a warm, natural look. Garapa is a durable hardwood with a 30+ year lifespan that is suitable for many applications.

Products Available: AD / KD Sawn Timber – Decking, moldings, and posts. FSC Certified

Applications: Garapa is a high-density, highly durable hardwood species that is ideal for use in exterior structures including decks, wood siding, wood rain-screen, and more.
