In our previous post, we share some ideas about the utilities that can give the wood in our garden gazebo. We emphasize in addition, always compare the price / quality, which certainly deserves a look in terms of investment and not expenditure.

The key point is how to choose the wood for use outdoors. His attributes must be:

• Highly resistant to deterioration from exposure to natural elements such as snow, rain, wind etc.

• Also resistant to attack by insects and fungi, many of them generated due to a weakness in the previous section.

In this regard, councils are:

• Evaluate in detail the starting point ie where the timber will be located, how exposed is (including sun exposure)

• Choosing the proper wood for those conditions

• Find out what the retail demand maintenance and how often.

• What is the cost of products and labor in this regard.

As a general recommendation, I can tell you is that if you can invest, opt for the so-called hardwoods. At first they demand more work to cut, rails etc, but they are really tough and avoid them to expand, contract, bend etc inclement weather. These suggest: Lapacho (Tabebuia spp), Quebracho colorado (Schinopsis balansae) and Algarrobo (Prosopis alba and P.nigra).

It depends where the purchase, they can already be treated with products (ie ready to use) or virgin state, in this last if treatment is paramount, and always before assembling the structure designed to that intended.
