Ipe Tropical Hardwood (pronounced ee-pay) is one of the densest woods available for outdoor construction. It is so dense it sinks in water, holds the same fire rating as concrete and steel, and is naturally mildew and decay resistant.
Its natural oils make Ipe 5/4×4 virtually impenetrable to insects. It does not scratch or splinter easily, never becomes hot in the sun, and has a high friction coefficient, ideal for decks, docks and seaside construction.

Description
Ipe 5/4×4 Dimensional Lumber
Appearance. The color of Ipe is similar to walnut, with dark tones that have olive brown to reddish undertones. Left untreated, it gradually turns into a beautiful natural silver patina.
Maintenance. Ipe does not scratch or splinter easily and maintains structural integrity for over 25 years. To preserve its rich auburn tone, oil annually depending on climate and sun exposure. Without oiling, it weathers to a refined silver patina.
Preservation. Ipe requires no special treatment and lasts for over 40 years without maintenance. A deck oil with UV inhibitors is an excellent option to retain its original color.
Sustainable. The Forest Legality Initiative states Ipe can be exported and traded internationally. It is not listed as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List.

Best decking we have ever specified
We used this on a 4,200 sqft oceanfront deck. The density and color consistency were exceptional. Survived a full hurricane season with zero damage.
