The density of tropical makes it inhospitable mold, mildew, termites, and fungus which means it naturally repels wood rot & decay. This means homeowners will have to do very little maintenance to their deck. Other advantages of using hardwood for decking in the San Francisco Bay area are that the wood, stays cool because it doesn’t absorb heat, it outlasts many composite materials, it is scratch resists scratches, and has good slip resistance which makes it ideal for high foot traffic areas in commercial projects as well as for residential use. Ipe, cumaru, garapa, massaranduba, and jatoba are often used to build decks, docks, pergola, boardwalks, outdoor kitchens, outdoor showers, mailboxes, ceilings, sidings, fences, gates, gazebos, cabanas and benches. A great thing about ipe and cumaru is that they have an A-class fire rating, which means they are fire retardant materials just like concrete and steel.
