Cypress Decking and Deck product

Cypress Decking Specifications

Cypress (Taxodium ) Noted for its color consistency, density, hardness and relative lack of knots, cypress easily installed, and readily finished. This versatile, distinctive wood lends elegance to any home’s exterior.

When milled, cypress typically displays a predominantly yellow tone, with reddish, chocolate or olive hues. While cypress has always been an architectural fixture in its main growth regions, many builders and trade professionals throughout the U.S. are using cypress in what had traditionally been redwood and treated pine applications.

Our Cypress decking is responsibly harvested from managed forest to provide a truly renewable resource. We ship our Cypress decking products direct to your home or job site.

Interesting Fact: In earth's history Cypress (Taxodium) was widespread. It is known since the Jurassic and can be found as fossil e.g. in layers from Tertiary times.

Cypress Decking Preservation

Water-repellent sealer should be applied to all exposed surfaces and ends on your deck as soon as practically possible. (Do not apply if the wood is wet.) The proper application of a good sealer will help protect your deck from weathering and maintain its appearance.

As with any wood, sealer should be reapplied to your cypress deck every one to two years. For best results, a deck cleaner should be used to remove dirt and mildew before any sealer is reapplied.

The best sealing products are those that actually penetrate the wood. Most also contain a moisture inhibitor such as paraffin wax and a binder. Some also contain a pigment to add color to your deck.
