Compared to more traditional boardwalk surfacing materials such as softwood, hardwood, steel, composite lumber and precast concrete, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating has become the surfacing material of choice for boardwalks in virtually every respect. FRP grating boardwalks offer unparalleled durability, safety and longevity, especially in remote areas and wetlands, where ease of installation, minimal maintenance and longevity are key selection criteria.
