Bengkirai
Dense Indonesian hardwood often used for structural posts and decking where teak budgets pinch.
Bengkirai is a heavy Indonesian hardwood valued for strength outdoors—common for structural posts, beams, and decks when developers want near-teak durability at lower timber cost.
It still needs sensible detailing: ventilation, stainless fixings where wet, and finishes suited to sun.
Compare with Teak wood when evaluating quoted specifications.
