Supplied in mixed lengths 2.44m (8 ft) and longer

Durable, and very strong hardwood requiring no chemical preservative treatment due to natural resistance to fungal decay and insect attack. A very stable timber with an excellent track record for decking in the USA and elsewhere.

Pieces of decking range in colour from attractive dark brown , medium brown, olive, orange-brown and with some pieces almost black. It will weather naturally to a pleasant driftwood/silver grey if left untreated.

In the USA Ipe is often the timber of choice when the ultimate, high quality, durable, very low maintenance decking is required.

Ipe is pronounced (ee-pay)

Please note that timber decking is a natural product and the colour varies between pieces, and the age of the timber has an effect on appearance.

Fix hardwood decking correctly with Stainless Steel screws

Extra strong heavy duty fixing is recommended for hardwood decking e.g. stainless steel screws
Tip :- Waxing the ends of hardwood deck planks discourages end splits
e.g End Seal from Chestnut Products

In terms of appearance it should be noted that a small percentage of pinhole may be found in Balau. This is not detrimental to the timber.
