5/4 x 6 Advantage Garapa™ Wood Decking Shorts – Bright, Durable, and Built to Perform

Bring golden warmth and rugged performance to your outdoor spaces with 5/4 x 6 Advantage Garapa™ Decking Shorts. Often called Brazilian Ash, Garapa is a dense, durable hardwood known for its light honey-blonde color, smooth texture, and natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects.

In the 5/4 x 6 profile, these short-length boards offer extra thickness for enhanced strength—perfect for high-traffic areas and structurally demanding installations—while still being easy to work with and install. Shorts are especially great for patterned layouts, trim details, or jobs where full-length boards aren’t required.

Ideal for a Wide Range of Outdoor and Custom Projects

Short-length 5/4 x 6 Advantage Garapa™ boards are perfect for:

• Decks with creative layouts—including borders, herringbone, chevron, or diagonal patterns

• Docks, landings, and boardwalks—where shorter boards are easier to maneuver and replace

• Steps, risers, fascia, and skirting, thanks to the added thickness of 5/4 stock

• Fencing, privacy panels, and trellises with a warm, upscale appearance

• Outdoor kitchens, grill islands, and built-ins that demand style and strength

• Ceiling cladding, soffits, and accent walls—indoors or out

• Custom furniture, planter boxes, benches, and trim work

Shorts reduce waste, lower shipping costs, and give you greater control over layout and design. Whether you’re a pro or a passionate DIYer, 5/4 x 6 Advantage Garapa™ decking shorts are a smart, attractive, and high-performance option for your next project.
