2x8 Cumaru Skirting Fascia — Complete Buyer's Guide

Cumaru, also known as Brazilian Teak, is a premium tropical hardwood sourced from Amazon Basin, northern South America (Brazil, Venezuela, Guyana). With a Janka hardness rating of 3,330 lbf and a density of 65 lbs/ft³, Cumaru is classified as Class 1 - Very Durable — one of the most durable commercial lumber species available. The heartwood exhibits light to medium brown with reddish tones with interlocked grain, medium to coarse texture, creating a striking natural appearance that improves with age.

Why Choose 2x8 Cumaru Wood for Your Skirting Fascia?

Cumaru lumber is valued for its exceptional durability, natural beauty, and resistance to the elements in demanding outdoor applications. Properly installed 2x8 Cumaru skirting fascia delivers a service life of 50+ years with minimal maintenance — an optional annual oil treatment preserves the original color, or you can let the Cumaru wood weather to a distinguished silver-gray patina. Cumaru carries a Class A - Low flame spread, making it suitable for wildfire-prone regions where code-compliant materials are required.

The 2x8 eased-edge (E4E) profile features gently rounded edges on all four sides, reducing the risk of splinters and creating a comfortable walking surface. This is the most versatile profile — suitable for face-screw installation with countersunk stainless steel fasteners. All Cumaru lumber is available in Select and Better grade with lengths ranging from 4′ to 20′. For detailed step-by-step instructions, consult our Cumaru installation guide. Long-term care recommendations are covered in our Cumaru maintenance guide.

2x8 Cumaru Skirting Fascia — Frequently Asked Questions

2x8 Cumaru skirting fascia has an expected service life of 50+ years when properly installed and maintained. This is 3-5x longer than pressure-treated pine and 2-3x longer than cedar. Cumaru achieves this exceptional longevity through its natural density (Janka hardness: 3,330 lbf) and Class 1 durability rating, which provide built-in resistance to rot, decay, insects, and fungal growth — all without chemical preservatives.

Use 305 or 316 stainless steel screws for all Cumaru installations — never use galvanized or coated deck screws, which will corrode and stain the wood. Pre-drill every hole using a countersink bit sized for your screw. For 2x8 boards, place screws approximately 1" from each edge and 3/4" from board ends. A combination drill/driver with a clutch setting prevents over-driving into this extremely hard wood.

2x8 Cumaru skirting fascia pricing varies by profile, grade, and board length. 2x8 E4E boards in Select and Better grade typically range from $4-$12 per linear foot before shipping. While the upfront cost is higher than pressure-treated lumber, Cumaru's 50+ years service life makes the lifetime cost per year significantly lower.
