how much does mahogany wood decking cost?

Answer 1

You could pay up to $50 for a 1 x 6 mahogany board 10 foot long. I just bought some Trex (no texture) and it was about $27 for a 1 x 6 ten foot piece.

So cost alone shoud rule out mahogany for a deck and as someone has all ready said, it is a pretty soft wood.

There is a distributor that specializes in what is called Bridgetown Mahogany. Very dense and used for exterior decking projects. Most people use 5/4 x 6 and it comes in lengths of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 ft lengths. It is more expensive than composite deckings such as Trex or TimberTech. Those run from $2.00 per LF to $3.25 per LF.

Answer 6

I estimate $15-$18 per square foot for a properly installed deck using 8' support post. We use continuous post for in ground, ground to deck,deck to top of handrail. This makes a really strong handrail. The post is one pc. for all. Deck joists should not span more distance than the lumber used for joist. In other words a 2"x8" joist should span no more than 8', a 2" x10" no more than 10'. We usually install a center floor beam supported by shorter in ground 4" x4"s up between 2 treated boards usually 2" x10"s , this lets you use smaller joists since the span is cut in half. It also keeps deck from that cheap bouncing syndrome if you have several guest on the deck at once. This is standard wood decking - what we call 5/4 *five quarter. Trex and other composite decking will triple this price easily. Elevated decks such as yours - the difference is in the price of the longer deck posts and footings for posts, bracing . Also labor is more to work off ground this high. *Add 30% for this elevated deck. Other things such as railing design will affect price, as well as quality of workmanship.
