Ipe 1×6 Solid Deck Board — The Benchmark of Ipe Hardwood Decking
Built for Strength and Long-Term Performance
The Ipe 1×6 Decking Board (Solid) (actual ¾″ × 5½″) represents the gold standard of Ipe Hardwood Decking. It is known for its unmatched durability, rot resistance, and Class A fire rating. Designed for installations on 12″ or 16″ joist spacing, this solid (non-grooved) profile works perfectly with face-screw, Pro Plug, or CAMO hidden fastener systems. As a result, you get a timeless hardwood appearance that consistently outperforms composite decking in strength, lifespan, and visual appeal.
Premium-Grade Quality from Brazilian Wood Depot
At Brazilian Wood Depot, every board meets the highest industry standards for appearance and strength. We supply only Premium Grade A (FAS) Ipe hardwood, ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish. Most boards are kiln-dried for stability and exceptional performance. If you’d like to confirm the drying method for your order, contact a BWD associate. Because kiln-dried Ipe maintains excellent dimensional stability, it’s widely recognized as the best form of Ipe Hardwood Decking available today.
Sustainably Harvested for Responsible Building
Each Ipe board is sustainably harvested, supporting responsible forestry and long-term preservation. Brazilian Wood Depot sources only from selectively managed forests that promote regeneration and protect biodiversity. To explore the environmental impact of responsible Ipe sourcing—including videos, expert interviews, and global context—visit our Sustainable Ipe Certified Interactive Course. This resource explains how sustainable forestry protects Amazonian ecosystems while maintaining the unmatched durability that defines Ipe Decking.
Natural Beauty and Enduring Protection
Ipe’s rich brown and olive color tones, dense grain, and slip-resistant texture make it ideal for residential and commercial applications. The wood’s density delivers steel-like strength, and its natural oils protect against insects, decay, and weather—without the need for chemicals. Consequently, Ipe Decking can last 40–75 years when installed correctly. Learn more about long-term performance and airflow design in our Ipe and Hardwoods: Drainage & Cupping Guide.
More Than Decking — A Material for Design
Beyond decking, solid Ipe 1×6 boards are also prized for horizontal fencing and privacy walls. Their stability and color depth enhance modern outdoor architecture. View real-world examples in our Fencing Gallery.
