Exotic & Vibrant Decking
If you're looking for strong visual punch, then Tigerwood decking is the choice for you. No other decking option is quite as striking as Tigerwood's vibrant rusty oranges, sienas and contrasting dark streaks.
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
