Coconut Wood (Cocos nucifera L.)
Coconut wood has been used for centuries here in Indonesia for wooden construction, paneling , stairs, window and door jambs, beams , posts , flooring and power poles.

We mainly use coconut wood in our pavilions and gazebos for posts, flooring, beams and roofing frames.

Gazebos made from coconut wood are fairly durable in all climates. The only danger in using coconut wood is that the bases of the main gazebo supporting posts may be at a higher risk to damage through insect invasion and moisture erosion.

We suggest sitting each coconut post in a cement base. This will increase the lifespan of the wood and prevent insect damage.
