    I put teak posts in my garden several years ago.
    When I recently cut these off to make them shorter they showed no signs of rot or decay.
    I also have teak posts on the exterior porches of my beach front home.
    These are holding up beautifully after 22 years on the ocean. Teak of this size is nearly impossible to find. When we tried to buy thicker teak for a large post and beam house we found that teak this size was not available in the U.S. That is why we cut these to have in stock in our Pennsylvania warehouse.
    Beams as thick and wide as this-- 6 inches x 6 inches are extremely rare. These giant, super-long teak squared beams were cut from teak trees that were well-maintained and pruned so that they have straight grain. These beams have centerheart or pith. They are not 100% heartwood--the corners have a little bit of sapwood or white wood in some areas. This is a very small, minimum amount of sapwood/white wood.
