Rhino Wood is created through a two-stage patented process of converting sustainably grown
South African pine into a hardwood equivalent. The thermal modification and pressure
impregnation processes result in a product that is 60% stronger without effecting
elasticity. Rhino Wood is 40% harder than Oak and has a Class 1 Durability rating, in the
same class as Ipe, Cumaru, and Batu.
Rhino Wood is a terrific choice for your outdoor projects and is available in 1x6, 1x8,
5/4x6, and 5/4x8 in even lengths from 8' to 12' with a minimum of 15% 14' and longer.
2x4 and 4x4 laminated Rhino Wood is available in 12' lengths only.
Rhino Wood is easy to trim, rip and shape - and can be easily milled to pattern. Rhino Wood
requires no special disposal and can be left to biodegrade like any natural wood product, with
no negative effect on the environment.
Rhino Wood is resistant to water, insects and decay. It matches other tropical hardwoods with a 25
year warranty. The pores of Rhino Wood block all moisture, which prevents the wood from decaying and
rotting. This allows for a longer wood life cycle. A low maintenance timber, Rhino Wood does not
need to be sanded or finished once installed, but can be finished to maintain its natural color.
Rhino Wood will fade to gray over time with UV exposure.
An environmentally friendly product, Rhino Wood is produced from FSC Sourced forests, with
zero toxicity in its production process. Rhino Wood received the WWF climate solve award in
2014 which recognized the product as an environmental, social, and economic solution. It can be used
in the same applications as traditional timber. Rhino Wood requires no special disposal and can be
left to biodegrade like any natural timber, with no negative effect on the environment.
