Because the grain sits on a 6063-T6 aluminum slat, it avoids the staining and sealing routine of natural wood and will not rot or split. That makes long runs practical: an 18 ft wall topper or pergola bay in real timber would need regular maintenance at height, while the aluminum version only needs an occasional rinse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"agd-s agd-s--text agd-dark\"\u003e\u003cheader class=\"agd-head\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003e6 ft or 18 ft?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/header\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"agd-text\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth lengths share the same Alu 40 profile and Yellow Oak finish, so you can mix them on one project.
