  1. What Is the Best Type of Decking to Withstand All Seasons of Weather? Choosing the most suitable wood for your decking is a challenging task. You’ll need to consider several factors, such as the weather, moisture, and constantly changing temperatures. So, is there a material that can withstand all of these conditions? Fortunately, the answer is yes. Ipe hardwood decking is the best way to go. Why you should choose Ipe hardwood decking Also known as Brazilian walnut, Ipe hardwood hails from the vast forests of South America. It is medium to dark brown, much like AmericanWalnut. Ipe hardwood is used for numerous outdoor applications such as decking, furniture, siding, and fencing. This is because the Brazilianwood has the following qualities: Strength and durability Wood durability is measured through the Janka Hardness Scale, which tests the amount of force required to push a steel ball into the material. In addition, it is expressed in units of force. The higher the number, the more durable the wood variety is. Ipe hardwood rates at 3680 on the hardness scale, making it one of the most durable materials available. It is approximately three times harder than oak, mahogany, teak, and 8x harder than Southern Yellow pine. Not only that. IpeBrazilian walnut also has incredible resistance to various external factors. This includes water and moisture, rotting, and wood-boring pests. As a result, Ipe hardwood decking can last for more than 50 years with proper maintenance. Low maintenance Keeping your Ipe decking in tip-top shape is quite simple. Most hardwood products are low maintenance in general, and they only require staining every few years to maintain their color. And, of course, you’ll need to clean your decking regularly. It’s best to remove any dirt, debris, and pollen as soon as possible to keep your Ipe hardwood free from fungi. In addition, you can get rid of tougher stains with pressure washing. Sustainability If you’re sourcing hardwood products, it’s essential to think of their sustainability. Buying wood that is endangered is not good for the environment.

  2. Thankfully, Ipe hardwood is sourced sustainably from South America. It is harvested, according to the US Lacey Act. Are you searching for premium-grade Ipe for your decking? Purchase your hardwood products from a reliable and experienced supplier in the United States.
