A warm, gently textured underfoot encounter for outdoor and garden environments. ORCA Decking celebrates the inherent beauty and longevity of Black Locust, a deciduous hardwood native to the Appalachian Mountains. Fast-growing and remarkably durable, Black Locust is a rot-resistant hardwood with a Class A fire rating.

Freshly milled Black Locust has a warm golden tone. Over time, exposure to the elements naturally softens the color into a silvery gray patina.

Sourced directly from U.S. growers, ORCA Decking is a domestic alternative to the tropical hardwoods commonly used in outdoor projects, thereby reducing the carbon emissions associated with transporting goods overseas.

Varied lengths 3' - 12'. Priced per linear foot.

FAQ

Is Black Locust fire rated?

Black Locust decking products have tested to a Class A rating under ASTM E84, which measures flame spread and smoke development.

Why choose Black Locust for decking and fencing?

Black Locust is a dense domestic hardwood known for outdoor durability, natural rot resistance, and a warm, textured grain. It offers the strength and lifespan many projects need without relying on tropical hardwoods or pressure-treated lumber. It is a strong fit for decking, fencing, gates, screens, and other exterior wood applications.

How is Black Locust harvested?

Black Locust is harvested from domestic forests rather than tropical sources. It is a fast-growing hardwood, we use selective harvesting to source usable trees while supporting continued forest growth.

Does Black Locust need to be sealed or treated?

Black Locust does not need pressure treatment for outdoor use because the wood is naturally rot resistant. It can be left unfinished to weather into a softer silver-gray tone, or it can be oiled if you want to maintain more of the original wood color.

How does Black Locust age outdoors?

Black Locust will change with sun, rain, and exposure. Over time, the surface will patina, shift in tone, and show the natural movement expected from exterior wood. This aging is part of the material’s character. With proper installation, drainage, and care, Black Locust is made for long-term outdoor use.
