Structural Garapa Tsitsikamma

Properties of Structural Garapa

High Strength & Load Bearing

Are you transforming your space with Garapa wood decking? Due to their tighter grain structure and compact cellular fibre, hardwood offers a lot more strength and stability compared to softwood. Its high density and strength provide an exceptional load-bearing capacity. It’s a great material that can support heavy loads but is still lighter than concrete or steel. Its lighter weight and simpler handling lead to a considerable increase in building speed.

Natural Durability & Resistance

In environments like the Tsitsikamma area that receives high rainfall and significant wind throughout the year, it’s vital that you make use of building materials that are durable and resistant to natural elements such as rain, fire, wind, rot, and pests. Hardwood’s natural resistance to decay eliminates the need for chemical preservatives. It’s also less prone to warping and shrinking in humid conditions due to its high density. Consider our modern pergola ideas for Structural Garapa.

Sustainability & Efficiency

Hardwood is a renewable source that stores carbon. Overall, it requires less energy to process than other heavy load-bearing materials such as steel or concrete, and can be reused, recycled, or biodegraded. Using hardwood is also energy efficient, as it serves as a natural insulator that resists heat transfer, saving energy and costs.
