Executive Suite
In either jatoba or massaranduba woods, Executive Wood Decking naturally resists termites, mold, fire, and surface checking without the use of CCA preservatives, and is three times harder than red oak, says the producer. Planks come in 4-and 6-inch widths, 4/4-inch and 5/4-inch thicknesses and lengths from 8 to 18 feet. Chesapeake Hardwood Products. 800.446.8162. www.chpi.com.
Sealed Tight
Penofin Penetrating Oil Finish provides water resistance and UV protection against fading, aging, and sun damage. It penetrates wood fibers in one coat and does not form a surface film. Penofin. 800.736.6346. www.penofin.com.
Recycled Beauty
Monarch decking is made of 100 percent recycled wood and plastic and features a slip-resistant wood-grain pattern. The decking resists termites, mold, and mildew, and will not split, crack, warp, rot, or cup. The material does not need to be sealed, sanded, or painted.
