Ipe Deck Boards
Ipe decking is our most requested material for many reasons. Remarkable color, outstanding durability, safety, and an enduring life span are the major benefits to this all-in-one deck board material. How can a wood be so special?
The answer lies within the wood itself. The combination of tightly woven grain and oils allow for each one of our carefully milled Ipe deck boards to perform and look better than any soft wood or synthetic material in the market today.
