Cumaru Decking Section of Coney Island Boardwalk Escapes Unscathed

Cumaru Decking: Coney Island Boardwalk (full blog post)

(Excerpt from MonteverdeDecking.com blog)


Mataverde Cumaru Decking escapes Hurricane Sandy unscathed. It has been noted recently in newspaper reports that the devastating effects Hurricane Sandy had on large areas of the Northeast including the New York and New Jersey coasts particularly, did not affect the areas of the Coney Island boardwalk that had been rebuilt and repaired recently uising the FSC Certified Mataverde Cumaru decking. The Cumaru section of the boardwalk shown in the photo above was installed with recycled plastic sleepers and FSC Certified 100% Pure Cumaru Decking. The Cumaru decking boards were securely attached with stainless steel decking screws for additional fastening strength and durability. This strong installation method helped the Cumaru decking in this section of the boardwalk to escape the brutal wrath and battering of the vicious storm.

Rare view inside Child's Restaurant on Boardwalk built in 1924

Here is a rare view of the inside of Child's Restaurant on the Coney Island Boardwalk.  A group of workers opened up the entrances but wouldn't give any information on the purpose of their visit.  Child's Restaurant is a NYC Landmark.

Coney Island Beach and Boardwalk.  How cool is that? Wouldn't bring my laptop to the beach. But park yourself on one of the many benches on the Boardwalk, download the latest best seller and you never have to go home before dark.

Freaky and disturbing.

Took a walk around Neptune Avenue in Brighton and found this gem. Wouldn't this make a great movie set? Even the Balcony scene in West Side Story. "Tonight"
