Cedar Vs Mahogany Decking
In our Cedar vs Mahogany research, we focused on six main categories: grain, sustainability, durability, warranty, lifespan and maintenance. Whether you’re building a deck, pergola, or fence, here are some Key points that can help you decide between cedar or Mahogany.
| Product | Cedar | Genuine Mahogany |
| Grain | Clear/knotty | No knots and smooth surface |
| Sustainability | Sustainably harvested from government managed forest | Sustainably harvested from government managed forest |
| Durability | Janka hardness: 350lbs | Janka hardness: 800lbs (56% stronger than cedar) |
| warranty | No warranty | 20-year limited warranty |
| Life span | 10-15 years | 25+ years |
| Maintenance | High maintenance | Low maintenance |
Mahogany products are about 28% higher in cost on average than the same cedar products. Mahogany has a higher initial cost but it pays off by lasting the lifespan of the substructure. Genuine Mahogany is a great option if you want a beautiful low maintenance deck for over 30 years.
