Installation Tips

Pre-drill and countersink all fasteners — Massaranduba is extremely hard.

Use stainless steel or approved hardwood screws.

Allow 1/8" gap between boards.

Acclimate boards for 5-7 days before installation.

Apply end-sealer to all cut ends.

Use carbide-tipped saw blades for cutting.

Maintenance

Massaranduba requires minimal maintenance. Apply hardwood oil annually to maintain the rich reddish color, or allow to weather to silver-gray. Clean with mild soap and water. This is one of the most durable decking materials available — it will outlast most other wood decking options.
