hi! i would like to build an outdoor fence and decking using balau resak or chengal. whats the price difference like?

for fence, it probably be 1x3 (or 4?) x4 feet.
is 3 or 4 inch wide better?

for decking, itll probably be 1x3 x 8-10 feet.

thanks for your advise and opinion. (and quote)

Hi, morning smile.gif

For fence, 1x3 is suitable for smaller house, and shorter fence (like 2.5 to 3 feet) , 1x4 look more nice if your house or door is wide and large.

Decking using 1x3 is nicer and cheaper.

For pricing, depend on length and size, chengal is about 40% to 60% more expensive than Balau. thumbup.gif

Hi, good day smile.gif

For 1x4 x4feet, it is RM5/pcs include planing. It is Balau (yellow balau, same family with resak)

Usually, most ppl say resak actually mean balau (some call resak, some call balau)

Actually the “real Resak” are Balau Hitam, slightly darker than Balau, harder than Balau thus most easy to crack in the end, also, fresh cut Resak has slight oily gum in cutting surface.

hi all, awesome thread for some wood type knowledge!

Guys, sorry hijack abit newbie here dunno much about wood.
Can someone briefly explain/rate the type of superior wood we have in Msia?

From reading the forum:- best wood = belian which a forumer said can no longer find

So in ascending order

1. Belian
2. Balau/Selangan Batu
3. ?
4. ?

What about Cengal/Merbau/Nyatoh? Have not heard anyone mention teak wood?

How is our wood comparable with red oak/white oak/black walnut/maple from Western countries

Hope some wood experts can give some knowledge hehe
