Black Locust Boardwalks

Black Locust is one of the most durable, naturally rot-resistant hardwoods on the market — making it a standout material for boardwalks in parks, wetlands, waterfronts, and high-traffic pedestrian zones. We manufacture our boardwalk planks using true 2" x 6" Black Locust lumber, available in standard lengths of 3', 4', and 6'. Longer lengths or specific structural dimensions (like 2x8) can be produced for custom projects requiring heavier load capacity or wider spans.

Whether you're designing a 6-foot-wide walking path, a multi-use trail, or coastal boardwalk, our material meets both ADA guidelines and modern performance standards. Face-screwing with stainless steel fasteners is the industry standard for long-term stability, especially in marine or wetland environments — and Black Locust handles these conditions without the need for any chemical treatment. Its dense grain, exceptional hardness, and natural resistance to decay make it the smart, sustainable alternative to pressure-treated pine and tropical hardwoods like Ipe.
