Are they saying Eb-Ty would be OK with thicker (2-by) boards? Or
thinner?

I'm considering replacing my PT decking with Ipe as well, and a hidden
fastener system appeals strongly.


I'm curious as to why you would be interested in 2" ipe'? It certainly
doesn't need to be that thick for strength purposes. Not for normal
decking, at least.

Everything I've seen is 5/4.
