Tropical Hardwoods FAQ
Which tropical hardwoods does Timberline stock?
We stock Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa decking in common profiles and lengths at Black Mountain, plus matched fasteners. Specialty tropicals like Purpleheart and Jatoba are available by special order.
Do you deliver tropical decking across the Carolinas?
Yes. Our flatbed fleet covers Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and East Tennessee from Black Mountain with mill-direct pricing and full-length stock.
Ipe vs Cumaru vs Garapa — which should I choose?
Ipe is the flagship hardness and longevity choice; Cumaru is near-Ipe performance at a lower cost; Garapa is the golden Class 1 option when a lighter look matters. See our three-way comparison guide for details.
Do tropical decks need special fasteners?
Yes. Dense tropicals need stainless or silicon-bronze fasteners and proper pre-drill. We stock hidden clips, Pro Plugs, and face screws sized for Ipe, Cumaru, and Garapa.
