The nature of the material means it doesn't rot or crack in the sun, is slip proof and doesn't fade in colour.

RedwoodRedwood refers to a variety of species, such as Californian Redwood and Japanese Redwood, but all display a rich red hue and are naturally strong and long lasting - a well maintained redwood deck can last 30 years or more.
