Ipe 5/4×6 decking is a premium choice for outdoor decking projects, valued for its exceptional durability, beauty, and longevity.
The 5/4×6 refers to the thickness and width of the boards before milling. The 5/4×6 after milling nets out at 1” x 5 ½”. This thickness provides a solid, robust platform, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and capable of spanning longer distances between joists compared to standard 1×6 decking.
Ipe’s tight grain structure naturally resists slipping, making it a reliable choice for porch flooring. Its surface remains more secure underfoot in various conditions, from rainy weather to early morning dew, enhancing safety by diminishing the risk of slips and falls
Ipe 5/4×6 will span 24” oc joists. This is great for retrofitting older decks with wider framing.
– 5/4×6 Ipe, Tigerwood, Garapa, and Cumaru.
– Capable of spanning 24″ on-center joists.
