The Top Wood Types for Pergola’s
Cape Decking recommends the following wood types for wooden pergolas:
- Garapa: A high-density hardwood species native to Brazil, known for its beauty, density, and durability.
- Massaranduba: Known for its strength and resistance to wear, Massaranduba is a popular choice for pool decking.
- Balau: A durable hardwood commonly used in decking, though it has a tendency to warp and split, so alternatives like Garapa or Massaranduba are often recommended.
