Materials

Garapa at Kruskal Avenue, Bellville.

The Garapa example on this website is public timber seating in Bellville CBD — civic commercial timberwork, not a suburban Garapa deck gallery.

Overview

Where this timber is used.

Kruskal Avenue seating uses a Garapa timber seating surface on hot-dip galvanized steel and cast in-situ concrete. Garapa was chosen there for density and weathering resistance against that industrial structure. That is civic commercial timberwork, not a private Garapa deck.

Our approach

How we specify it.

If a new brief asks for Garapa, it is specified from that site — board sizes, lifespan and price follow the job, not a catalogue line.

Civic timber, not a product line

This page points at the Kruskal Avenue seating project. Other Garapa uses would be specified from a new site.
