What are black locust boards used for?

Black locust boards are pretty often used in outdoor building jobs because they have exceptional durability, a natural kind of resistance to rot, and a really long service life. People pick them for decking, fencing, siding, pergolas, garden structures, and other exterior applications where both strength, and low maintenance matters. And yeah, compared with a lot of traditional hardwoods, black locust can handle harsh weather pretty well, without needing chemical treatments, or at least not in the usual way. Homeowners, contractors, and architects often go with black locust boards as a sustainable hardwood option, with grain patterns that look nice, dependable day to day performance, and long-term value for homes, and commercial spaces as well.
