Mesquite!!!

I second that!

Solid on concrete? Oh my!

Mesquite!!


Ever see a dock, pier, or deck over the water. They are always cupped.

My Father in law has a fishing platform that extends out into a big tank(cattle pond) It was cut from mesquite trees off the property, over 40 years ago.
The boards are tight, no normal gaps as you would see on a deck or pier.

No cupping, no finish, nothing but bare wood, out in the weather, over water(and has been under water. The posts are always under water)

Mesquite, is the only solid, I'd personally not have one problem if someone asked to install over concrete. (not direct glue)
