IPE as decking material
Time has come to redo once again the deck outside the house. I have used and
hated :
CCA: shrank split and looks nasty by the fifth year
Composite: Stains, supports mold , does not come clean(power washer,
chemicals etc)
Cedar: Nice and soft, always love to pull the soft breakable splinters out
I want to see if anyone has used IPE and have had it in place more than two
years. I expect to use a water sealer on it. And yes IPE seems expensive,
but so is replacing the decking every five years or so.
Thanks
Paul
