Decking
Garapa decking
Garapa is a golden-yellow tropical wood, a good fit if you want a bright deck. It is lighter and more affordable than IPE.
What it looks like
Golden-yellow when installed, it darkens over time to a honey tone. Left unoiled, it turns silver-grey.
Durability and maintenance
It is in durability class 2–3. We recommend oiling once a year, especially on decks exposed to strong sun.
Installation
It is laid on joists at the recommended spacing, with gaps between boards and ventilation under the deck.
When to choose it
For bright, modern decks on a mid-range budget.
Guide price
Installation from 25 €/m²
Installation (labour) usually costs between 25 and 35 €/m². The difference comes from the material (dense tropical hardwood is harder to work than WPC), the substructure and how easy it is to reach the deck site.
Installation includes
- The joist substructure
- The boards, fixed with hidden clips or screws
- Cutting and edge finishing
Example: for a 20 m² deck, installation costs around 500–700 €.
