This guide walks you through every step—from choosing the right materials to shipping, handling, purchase policies, and material guarantees. It even covers common pitfalls to avoid, so you can move from your project’s first stage to the final brushstroke of oil with confidence.
What Type of Framing Is Best For My Hardwoods?
Link to: IPEcertified
Your decking is only as strong as the frame beneath it. Hardwood decking like Ipe, Cumaru, and Tigerwood can last 30–50 years—but treated pine framing often fails in less than a decade. That mismatch leads to sagging, rotting, and expensive rebuilds.
Heritage Deck Framing™ solves that problem.
-
UC4B Rated Protection – Built for ground-contact exposure and the toughest conditions.
-
Stronger, Straighter, Longer-Lasting – Designed to support dense hardwoods without warping or twisting.
-
Match the Lifespan of Your Decking – A frame that lasts as long as the premium decking it supports.
-
Peace of Mind – Backed by clear purchase policies and material guarantees.
Instead of settling for cheap pine that can’t keep up, build your project on a foundation worthy of your hardwood investment.
