Wood Species
Available with natural woods that are resilient to weathering, here is an example of a beautiful Sapele set. Sapele, is a very clean, consistent, and durable hardwood originating from West Africa! It is one of the most durable outdoor species due to its high density.
White Oak will be a brighter, honey toned wood, with more knots . It is our most durable outdoor wood with excellent resilience to rot and wood boring insects.
Cedar is another great choice and is one of the most commonly used outdoor wood species due to naturally produced oil from the tree which repels insects. It is not prone to warping or twisting and has a beautiful aroma!
