Ipe 1×6 Decking Board (Solid) — The Gold Standard in Ipe Hardwood Decking

Description

Built for Strength and Timeless Performance

The Ipe 1×6 Decking Board (Solid) (actual ¾″ × 5½″) defines premium Ipe Hardwood Decking. Known for its unmatched durability, rot resistance, and Class A fire rating, this solid (non-grooved) profile delivers exceptional performance. It’s ideal for installations on 12″ or 16″ joist spacing and works seamlessly with face-screw, Pro Plug, or CAMO hidden fastener systems. Together, these features create a traditional hardwood appearance that surpasses composite decking in both beauty and longevity.

Premium Grade A Ipe from Brazilian Wood Depot

Brazilian Wood Depot provides only Premium Grade A (FAS) Ipe hardwood, ensuring every board meets strict standards for consistency and appearance. Most boards are kiln-dried, offering superior stability and predictable performance. To confirm the drying method for your shipment, contact a BWD associate directly. Because kiln-dried Ipe maintains exceptional dimensional stability, it’s considered the highest-quality form of Ipe Hardwood Decking available today.

Sustainably Harvested for Long-Term Preservation

Each board is sustainably harvested, supporting healthy forest ecosystems and responsible sourcing. Brazilian Wood Depot partners exclusively with suppliers who practice selective harvesting—a method proven to preserve tropical rainforests for future generations. To understand the science and positive environmental impact behind these practices, explore the Sustainable Ipe Certified Interactive Course. This multimedia guide explains how sustainable forestry protects Amazonian habitats while maintaining the strength and reliability that make Ipe Decking world-renowned.

Distinct Beauty and Natural Protection

Ipe’s rich brown and olive color tones, along with its tight grain and naturally slip-resistant surface, make it ideal for both residential and commercial decks. The wood’s density gives it steel-like strength, while its natural oils protect against insects, decay, and weather—all without chemical treatment. As a result, well-installed Ipe decks often last 40–75 years with minimal maintenance.

Beyond Decking: Versatile Design Applications

Solid Ipe 1×6 boards are also excellent for horizontal fencing and privacy walls. Their stability, color depth, and architectural appeal make them perfect for modern outdoor designs. For real-world inspiration, explore our Fencing Gallery.
