Tropical Hardwoods FAQ

Which tropical hardwoods does Timberline sell?

Current species pages cover Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa. A listed catalog option is not a yard-quantity promise. Specialty tropicals such as Purpleheart and Jatoba remain quote or special-order paths.

Do you deliver tropical decking across the Carolinas?

Pickup is at our Black Mountain, NC lumber yard. Regional delivery across Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and East Tennessee is confirmed on the order or quote.

Ipe vs Cumaru vs Garapa — which should I choose?

Start with color and project setting, then check current profiles on each species page. See the three-way comparison guide for planning context. Live prices are on the species pages, not a permanent ranking.

Do tropical decks need special fasteners?

Dense tropicals typically need fasteners made for that work. Hardware is sold each or by package. Confirm the current product and manufacturer instructions rather than a generic count.
