There are several different photos here of Ipe Decks in various uses. Most of these decks were fairly newly installed when the picturses were taken. Remember, Ipe Decking can last over 75 years with almost no maintenance. It will weather to a beautiful silvery color. If you prefer the look of a brand new deck, we recomend using Ipe Oil™ to keep the ipe deck boards looking dark reddish brown for as long as you use it.
