Cambara Decking? What's That?

OK, get ready: We're going to tell you a secret.

Cambara decking isn't like other kinds of decking. For one thing, its natural beauty is unparalleled by its competitors.

For some of you building decks out there, cambara decking might just be the best choice.

Oh, sure, you may have to spend a little more time on maintenance. Unlike the maintenance-free composite wood decking materials on the market, cambara decking will require a bit of elbow grease to keep it looking its best.

But don't worry: decks built with cambara decking stand the test of time. Cambara decking is very strong and has above-average decay resistance. It also has a high "modulus of rupture," which means it can bend very far without breaking. It's got good resistance to dry-wood-seeking insects and fungi. It's a great substitute for more expensive (and, too often, environmentally unsound) mahogany. And of course it has a beautiful natural grain that can't be matched by composites.

So what is it?

Cambara is a medium hardwood harvested in Central and South America, including Brazil, Suriname and the Guyanas. It goes by a variety of names, including Jaboty, Quarubarana, Singri and Kwari.

Cambara decking is mostly straight-grained, and its color ranges from a pale pinkish brown to a light reddish brown, with a wide spectrum of hues in between.

Cambara decking isn't for just anyone; if you want a decking material you can just install and forget about, then cambara might not be for you. But if you're interested in a beautiful deck with the exotic feel than only tropical hardwoods can provide, cambara decking might just be for you.
