Garapa decking boards in 145mm width
Smooth decking made of light wood with the best durability - these are our decking made of tropical hardwood Garapa. Because the wood has a very good dimensional stability, it is also often used as a pool border. Since the Garapa terrace planks are planed smooth on all sides, they can be easily laid as garden parquet without visible screws. In addition, smooth surfaces on wooden terraces dry faster and are therefore less slippery than corrugated terrace boards. The Garapadielen of BioMaderas come from FSC® - certified forestry in Bolivia. Garapa is the best wood for anyone looking for smooth, light-colored decking boards with the best resistance. More information on laying and the wood properties can be found in the laying instructions.

Premium quality from BioMaderas - what does that mean?
The premium quality sets the highest standard for the quality of the wood, but also for its social and ecological sustainability:
| ✓ | Highest Quality in processing and careful manual sorting save resources, since no waste has to be planned. Not every irregularity is sorted out, but every plank can be used. |
| ✓ | The wood has a high resistance and durability so that the construction work is durable and material-friendly. |
| ✓ | Sustainable forest management is promoted so that the displacement of the forest by agriculture is stopped. |
| ✓ | social standards in forest and production are at least at fair trade level. |
| ✓ | transport takes place carbon neutral about certificate trading and reforestation projects. |
Despite the high quality standard, the material wood has natural properties that distinguish it from industrially manufactured products. These include: ✗ coloring ✗ grain ✗ swelling, shrinking and warping ✗ cracking. If you are aware of these typical wood properties, you will have a lot of fun with your wooden terrace.

Substructure: wood instead of aluminium

dear Betterwood-Team,

We are very satisfied with the goods and the service. We had very good communication (both by phone and by e-mail) regarding the delivery date and other accessories required (nothing was pushed - only informed). I thought it was great that we agreed the delivery date directly with the retailer in an uncomplicated manner (no forwarding to any logistics) - we were informed of an earlier possible delivery and the date was changed accordingly. They don't deliver with 40t (which would be a problem in our constantly parked street) and the supplier didn't look stressed and unloaded the goods calmly and patiently.
The decking boards are great and very easy to lay. It took us about 7 hours to lay and oil the 8-2 parts.

We have from Bavaria at BETTERWOOD Boards ordered for our fence. BETTERWOOD was so super friendly and customer-oriented and even sent a small amount of the remaining boards to us in Bavaria. The transaction went very well, the consultants and the team are extremely reliable and friendly. Thank you very much!

I can only say positive things about the company in every respect. Everything was perfect from the first contact to picking it up. I never had the impression that I was being charged in any way, everything was very fair and professional. With Mr. Jäger I would also have a very pleasant conversation partner with good tips and advice. When I picked it up in Nümbrecht, I was even able to exchange a few floorboards. I would definitely order dorr again, even if the construction of the deck is still pending, but I'm responsible for that myself.
Thank you Betterwood, Mr. Jäger and Mr. Köting in Nümbrecht.

dear Betterwood-Team,
Thank you for the wonderful advice and planning. After completing our roof terrace, we are totally enthusiastic about the Garapa wood. We were very impressed by the ingenious solutions for the substructure and the concealed screw connections. After many inquiries from other suppliers, we ideally decided on Better-Wood, since all other competitors could not provide anywhere near the quality of all accessories or the immaculate Garapa wood. The advice/service was also perfect, and we were happy to use it. Better-Wood deserves more than 5 stars for us, anytime again!
