Thanks for sharing this great article , i really enjoyed reading and watching this video ,. keep up the good work.
I have not seen too many Ipe decks in New Jersey. They do look like a nice option however.
I love the deck lighting that you show, and how all the wires are hidden. Looks great! Definitely hope to have a deck like that some day.
Nice. These Ipe deck boards were a perfect choice for my rooftop bar/pool area. I can’t wait to have it installed on my place.
