Wood that withstands the harsh outdoors, but remains beautiful over the years.
What wood characteristics are ideal for outdoor applications?

Resistance to Decay: It should naturally resist fungi, mold, and rot to extend its lifespan when exposed to moisture.
Insect Resistance: The wood should be less prone to damage from insects like termites and wood-boring beetles.
Stability: The wood must have low rates of shrinkage and expansion to prevent warping and cracking due to humidity and temperature changes.
Weather Resistance: It should withstand UV rays and extreme temperature shifts without significant degradation.
Workability: The wood should be easy to cut, shape, and finish, facilitating construction and maintenance.
Aesthetic Qualities: Attractive grain patterns and colors can enhance the visual appeal of outdoor structures.
