Elevate your architectural projects with our 140 x 140 x 2440mm Air Dried (AD) Iroko PAR. Often referred to as "Poor Man's Teak," Iroko (Chlorophora excelsior) offers a strikingly similar appearance to Teak—starting as a yellow-toned wood and maturing into a rich, dark golden brown—while remaining a considerably more cost-effective option. These massive 6 x 6" nominal beams are Planed All Round (PAR) for a smooth, professional finish, making them the ultimate choice for high-end pergolas, gate posts, and structural garden features that require immense strength and natural rot resistance.
