Our products for the most part are constructed of wood. The woods we like to use are known to be highly resistant to deterioration either from weather or insects. The primary woods used are redwood, western red cedar, teak, mahogany, meranti or cypress. However we can use any wood you prefer. We build a less expensive line of products using pine. When we use pine we generally paint or varnish it to protect it from the elements. Any hardware used is stainless steel, brass, bronze or copper. We build our products to withstand the environment in which they are going to be used.
