Materials for Coastal Conditions
Coastal San Diego's salt air, UV exposure, and marine layer moisture demand careful material selection. We specify: ipe (Brazilian walnut) for maximum durability, western red cedar for beauty and weather resistance, powder-coated aluminum for zero maintenance, and composite materials for longevity. All hardware is marine-grade stainless steel.
