OLD RED ROCKS BENCHES TO BE AUCTIONED OFF
Original benches at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, installed for the venue’s opening in 1941, have deteriorated over the course of the last 60 years. Made of old-growth Redwood lumber, it is impossible to replace the benches using the same material, and the old benches are being replaced with a Brazilian lumber called Ipé ("ē-pay”), a pest and fire-resistant type of wood that is grown and harvested through the ecologically-friendly practice of sustainable yield forestry. Many of the old Redwood benches can be reused and are currently available to the public through a City and County of Denver surplus property online auction, similar to those held on eBay.
