When it comes to what is my recommendation for which kind of wood to use on San Diego decks my first choice is always Kebony. Haven’t heard of it you’re not alone, but it’s becoming more and more popular each year.
Kebony calls itself a modified natural wood product. Basically its real softwood that has been specially treated to act more like hardwood. The process of impregnation and curing the wood makes the cells walls 50 percent thicker and thus far more durable. This process is different from thermally treated wood which can leave the wood brittle over time. Also the use of sustainable managed forest makes Kebony far more environmental sustainable than using tropical hardwoods.
There are a number of reason why Kebony is my go to when I am designing a deck for a home all across San Diego from Point Loma to Del Mar and inland to South Park and Del Cerro. If you want more information check out the Kebony website as its full of great information and comparisons.
