Rare Woods SA carries a wide variety of different decking timbers, pre-manufactured and ready to install.
Included in their huge range are the three most popular hardwood choices of Balau, Garapa and Massaranduba. In addition to this they also have a number of options which they consider to be better value or stronger performers – including Purpleheart, Jatoba and Ipe, the world-recognised ‘best in class’ for hardwood decking.
Other excellent, but less commonly used options, include Siberian Larch, Australian Jarrah and Thermally-treated Ash.
To complete any outdoor hardwood needs, Rare Woods also offers a variety of durable structural timbers for pergolas and decking sub-structures. This inventory includes Garapa, Massaranduba and Balau to match the decking boards. Other popular choices include Thermally-treated pine, Meranti, Iroko, Afrormosia and Western Red Cedar.
With Rare Woods’s welcoming showrooms and depth of inventory, the owner / builder / architect is sure to find something to fit any style and budget.
