FAQs about Atlanta Ipe Decking
Questions you should ask before buying Ipe or Brazilian Hardwoods
(or Composites)
Can I buy Selected Lengths at no upcharge? Yes! Atlanta Ipe
Decking has the best supply of the biggest variety anywhere at the
best prices too because we avoid charging you extra for specified
lengths. We merely ask that you use 8' and 10' boards on your steps
and landings for one third (33%) of your order. This is about the
correct proportion for most decks.
What grade of Ipe and Brazilian hardwood do you offer?
Atlanta Ipe Decking only offers "Premium" grade decking. Do not
settle for "Select" or lesser grades. Premium is the best. It has no
knots or other imperfections that would be found in the lower
grades.
What type of support do you offer? Atlanta Ipe Decking
offers full support on our decking. This includes decking education,
installation assistance and documentation before the sale and phone
support after the sale. We have craftsmen available to help
you with the intricacies of Brazilian hardwoods.
Do you ever run out of Ipe? You will never have to go
searching because we are out of inventory. We have shipments
arriving every few weeks so you do not have to worry about scoping
your deck and then being left without Ipe.

Is Ipe an Environmentally Responsible choice? Everything
has pluses and minuses so no one solution can be understood alone.
Ipe is a natural product that will biodegrade in about 100 years.
You must compare that to Pressure Treated lumber which has poisonous
chemicals or composite decking which is made from oil and will clog
our landfills.
Can I buy other species of decking or accessories to
compliment my Ipe? Yes the Atlanta Ipe Decking carries a full
line of Brazilian Decking and accessories including Cumaru Rosa,
