Whether you want a classic or contemporary look, natural California redwood fits the bill. Versatile and durable, redwood is the perfect outdoor building material.
California Redwood has a warm, rich color and classic look that is unmatched by any other building product. But redwood is not just beautiful. It contains an inherent durability that allows it to withstand nature’s harshest elements and, with little maintenance, the ability to retain its beauty for many years to come. It is no wonder redwood has continued to be the reliable decking product of choice for decades.
Professionals recommend using redwood for decks, fences and outdoor living areas for many reasons. California redwood is strong and durable, but woodworkers appreciate how easy it is to work with. Redwood’s natural resistance to shrinking, warping and checking make it an ideal choice for any project.
Regardless of your budget, style or project specifications, redwood can meet your needs. There are a variety of grades, sizes, and lengths available ensuring you’ll find the right product for your project. The top three grades of decking are Alpine, Classic Heart and Premium Blend (see graphic). These grades have different characteristics allowing you to tailor your project to fit your own unique style. Using redwood affords you the luxury to create something that is both beautiful and functional but also long lasting.
