Here are some other great reasons to choose Tigerwood decking:

  • Natural resistance to rot and decay
  • It is harder, and therefore more durable than domestic woods such as California Redwood
  • More affordable than artificial looking plastic decking
  • Without preservative treatment, a Tigerwood deck will last over 30 years

All the Tigerwood decking you order from us is hand-inspected to ensure the highest quality, and we only import from harvesters that practice and maintan sustainable forests.
