Garapa Prime KD French profile decking board 45 × 145 mm fixed lengths – durable elegance from South America

With the Garapa Prime KD French profile decking boards 45 × 145 mm fixed lengths, you are bringing noble, durable, and dimensionally stable hardwood of premium quality to your patio. The tropical Garapa wood impresses with its bright, gold to honey-yellow coloring, which transitions into a warm brown over time – ideal for those who want to design a high-quality, elegant patio area with natural charm.

Originating from South America, Garapa is considered one of the noblest wood species for patio construction. Thanks to its high density (approx. 790–1,010 kg/m³ at 12–15% wood moisture) and its excellent hardness (up to 79 N/mm²), this hardwood offers exceptional stability and longevity. With a durability class of 3 according to DIN EN 350-2, Garapa is permanently weather-resistant and can also be used outdoors without chemical wood preservation – with the exception of direct ground contact.

The kiln drying (KD) to 16–18% wood moisture ensures high dimensional stability and minimizes the risk of warping or cracking. Due to its moderate swelling and shrinkage behavior, Garapa remains reliably in shape even under changing weather conditions. When installing, a joint width of at least 4 mm is recommended to compensate for natural dimensional changes.

The Garapa Prime KD French profile decking board with dimensions of 45x145mm offers a particularly stable and solid construction – perfectly suited for high-traffic patio areas, boardwalks, or pool surrounds. The French grading ensures uniform coloring and a particularly high-quality surface finish.

Precision is required during processing: due to the high hardness, carbide-tipped tools should be used. Pre-drilling is mandatory to prevent the screws from snapping or shearing off. For a lastingly beautiful surface, the use of grade A4 stainless steel screws is recommended, as Garapa contains tannin-rich substances that can react with ferrous metals.
