Ipe Decking Materials

Ipe, also known as Brazilian walnut, is an exotic hardwood that grows throughout South America and Central America. Deep in the forests of Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Venezuela and Peru, the ipe tree is forested and prepared to be sold on the global market. This strong wood is one of the world's most stable, making it a perfect outdoor decking material.

The color of ipe varies depending on its origin, but it usually has a dark brown color. However, ipe that is light tan in color and ipe that is almost black in color are also found frequently. The appealing color of ipe wood, along with its strength, has made it a popular exotic hardwood.

The ipe decking materials that are sold at Internet Lumber are 100% heartwood and are at least 95 percent clear on one face, making this lumber some of the finest ipe that is available.
