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.
Hello. I want to preserve my Ipe deck After it has aged and faded to a silvery hue with some form of clear preservative but I do not want it to lose its silvery hue. Is that possible or will it revert back to its dark color. Also, is it possible to just seal the end cuts which are the most vulnerable areas of the wood before installing it without interfering with the natural aging process. Thank you, Nick
If you want the silvery look they you do not need to do anything. Just enjoy it! Yes, seal the cut ends with anchor seal or similar when installing the deck. See http://amzn.to/2E55sO3
