How much does Ipe decking cost per square foot?

Ipe decking material costs roughly $10–$20 per square foot depending on board thickness, profile, and grade. A standard 1x4 E4E board starts around $5.19/LF, a popular 1x6 is ~$7.50/LF, and a 5/4x6 is ~$9.38/LF. For a full installed cost, add fasteners, substructure, and labor — typically $25–$45/SF total installed.

Why is Ipe wood so expensive compared to other decking?

Ipe's price reflects its extraordinary durability (75+ year lifespan), Class A fire rating, 3,680 Janka hardness, and natural resistance to rot, insects, and mold. When you compare 25-year lifecycle cost, Ipe is often cheaper than composite decking that needs replacement every 15–20 years.

Is Ipe cheaper than Trex or composite decking long-term?

Yes. While Ipe's upfront material cost is higher, it lasts 3–5x longer than composites. Over 50 years, a composite deck may need 2–3 full replacements (including labor), making Ipe the more cost-effective choice. See our detailed Ipe vs Trex comparison.
