Ipe wood is a premium Brazilian hardwood known for extreme density, natural durability, and unmatched longevity. It is widely considered the gold standard in hardwood decking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about Ipe decking and hardwood lumber

How much does Ipe decking cost?

Ipe decking starts at ~$5.19/LF for 1x4 boards, with popular sizes like 1x6 at ~$7.50/LF and 5/4x6 at ~$9.38/LF. Wider boards and milled profiles cost more. We offer transparent per-linear-foot pricing with no hidden fees and a best price guarantee.

How long does Ipe wood last?

Ipe wood can last up to 75+ years outdoors with minimal maintenance. Its natural density and oils make it resistant to rot, decay, insects, and weathering—outlasting virtually all alternatives including composite decking.

Is Ipe fire resistant?

Yes. Ipe achieves a Class A fire rating, which is the highest fire rating available for building materials and comparable to steel or concrete. This makes Ipe an excellent choice for decks near fire pits or outdoor fireplaces.

Does Ipe require maintenance?

No, Ipe does not require sealing or staining for protection. However, if you want to maintain the rich brown color, apply an oil-based UV finish annually. Without finishing, Ipe will naturally weather to a beautiful silver-grey patina.

How fast can you ship Ipe decking?

Most Ipe orders ship within 5-10 business days. We offer nationwide LTL freight delivery, flatbed delivery for large orders, and terminal pickup options. Expedited shipping is available for rush projects.

Do I need special tools to install Ipe?

Yes. Ipe requires pre-drilling all screw holes due to its extreme density. You'll need a drill with adjustable torque, carbide-tipped bits, and stainless steel fasteners. Hidden fastener systems work well with pre-grooved Ipe boards.
