Ipe Decking

Ipe Decking Always Here!

We are a direct importer of Ipe (pronounced ee-pay). We carry it full time.

Never have so many people wanted the most coveted deck in the world than now! After many years, the world now knows that there is NOTHING on this planet that is as good as Ipe for an exterior or covered deck for longevity, strength, fire rating, appearance, and sustainability.

PRICING:

Due to Brazilian mandates on Ipe, pricing is subject to daily adjustments.

Until further notice, CALL FOR CURRENT PRICING ON ALL IPE DECKING.

Mukulungu

Mukulungu a/k/a African Redwood

(Autranella Congolensis)

Some facts on mukulungu decking:

–It is the best decking originating out of Africa.
–It mostly goes into Europe where it is highly prized!
–It competes with the best decking in the world – Ipe.

-It is well respected by all due to its high silica content and uniform color as well as longevity and density!
–It is referred to here in the USA as “African Redwood“ but has nothing in common with the redwood we know other than for its longevity and similar color.
–It is also setting itself up in Europe as the likely alternative to Ipe if Ipe is ever banned!

It’s one of the few serious decks that has a monochromatic color that does not vary.

PRICING:

500 LFt or more of 2” x 6” mukulungu @ $4.50/LFt
Less than 500 LFt of 2” x 6” @ $5.50/LFt

Top rails: 2×6

Ipe Decking for Docks

Kabukalli Decking

Kabukalli (Goupia Glabra).

Kabukalli is similar to Ipe but not as expensive and has tremendous density and longevity. It is certified FSC! A Legit source and great provenance.

Properties/Appearance: Exceptionally high strength. Highly resistant to insects, decay, fire and marine organisms. Dries slowly. Checking, warping and splitting may occur especially if not seasoned properly. A UV protective finish minimalizes checking and splitting. Blunting effect on tools moderate to high. Planing is difficult. Glues well. Pre-drill before screwing. Polishes satisfactorily.

Uses: A heavy hard timber suitable for exacting conditions. Excellent for rafters, general construction, ship building, keels, pilings, piers, decking, hand rails, flooring, and raised beds.

There is no more kabukalli in Asheville. There is some available in New Orleans. If you are interested in purchasing kabukalli in Louisiana, please call Mark at 828-808-3617.

Itauba Decking

Itauba Porch Decking and Ceilings

Mike Kelly, one of the largest independent fabric dealers in America, recently had this to say about Itauba porch decking and ceilings:

“It turned out great! Great thanks! Scroungers’ wood is what made and set this porch project off. These pictures do not do it justice!”

Mike had originally planned to use his recent purchase of Itauba for his porch decking, but upon seeing it in person, decided to use it as his porch ceiling. And he was not disappointed, as stated above.

You will also see three photos of an entire wrap-around porch of Itauba 1 x 4 (3 ¼” x 3/4”) recently completed on the largest Air BNB in Asheville. It is stunningly beautiful!

Years from now you will be saying, “Olivari brought Itauba into the USA in 2018! He has known about this product for a while and said it would possibly be the ‘new Ipe’ as it looks quite the same and has the same longevity.”

We have 3/4” x 3 1/4” T&G 1 x 4’s in these lengths: 7’, 8’, 9’, 10’, 11’, 13’

Pricing:

On orders of 500 LFt or more of 7’ through 11‘ers: $2.25/LFt

On orders of less than 500 LFt for 7‘ through 11‘ers: $3.00/LFt

On orders of 500 LFt or more of 13’ers: $2.75/LFt

***

We still have a bit of 5/4” x 6” Edge Groove Itauba decking left. We will sell any remaining pieces for $2.20/LFt. Call for what’s left.

Don’t say we did not tell you about this affordable yet long-term durable-in-the-weather Itauba. (We call it Ipe-uba!)
