- Mahogany, Cumaru, and Batu: These tropical hardwoods bring an elegant look and exceptional durability. Each type resists moisture, pests, and heavy foot traffic, making them an ideal choice for long-lasting outdoor enjoyment. Their rich, varied colors and grain patterns make any outdoor space luxurious.
