1x6 Garapa Skirting Fascia — Complete Buyer's Guide

Garapa, also known as Brazilian Ash, is a premium tropical hardwood sourced from South America (Brazil, Suriname, Guyana). With a Janka hardness rating of 1,650 lbf and a density of 53 lbs/ft³, Garapa is classified as Class 2 - Durable — one of the most durable commercial lumber species available. The heartwood exhibits blonde to golden yellow, darkening to honey amber with interlocked grain, medium texture, creating a striking natural appearance that improves with age.

Why Choose 1x6 Garapa Wood for Your Skirting Fascia?

Garapa lumber is valued for its exceptional durability, natural beauty, and resistance to the elements in demanding outdoor applications. Properly installed 1x6 Garapa skirting fascia delivers a service life of 30+ years with minimal maintenance — an optional annual oil treatment preserves the original color, or you can let the Garapa wood weather to a distinguished silver-gray patina. Garapa carries a Class A - Low flame spread, making it suitable for wildfire-prone regions where code-compliant materials are required.

The 1x6 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 Garapa lumber is available in Select and Better grade with lengths ranging from 4′ to 20′. For detailed step-by-step instructions, consult our Garapa installation guide. Long-term care recommendations are covered in our Garapa maintenance guide.

1x6 Garapa Skirting Fascia — Frequently Asked Questions

1x6 Garapa skirting fascia has an expected service life of 30+ years when properly installed and maintained. This is 3-5x longer than pressure-treated pine and 2-3x longer than cedar. Garapa achieves this exceptional longevity through its natural density (Janka hardness: 1,650 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 Garapa 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 1x6 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.

1x6 Garapa skirting fascia pricing varies by profile, grade, and board length. 1x6 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, Garapa's 30+ years service life makes the lifetime cost per year significantly lower.
