overview

Ipe 1×6 is the go-to choice for builders and designers who want beauty and durability in one board. With a finished size of 3/4″ x 5.5″, it provides just the right width for everything from residential decks to high-end commercial cladding. These boards are smooth, stable, and rich in color, with natural oils that protect against moisture, insects, and decay. Ipe is known for its extreme density and long lifespan, and the 1×6 profile delivers that performance with a classic, balanced look. It arrives kiln-dried, FSC-certified, and milled S4S E4E so it’s ready to install with minimal waste or prep. Use it for horizontal decks, vertical siding, perimeter fences, or ceiling accents.

I upgraded my backyard with Ipe deck tiles for my patio. It was definitely an investment, but it’s turned out to be worth every penny. The tiles were easy to install and the finished product is not only beautiful, but also incredibly durable and functional. I would highly recommend Ipe deck tiles to anyone looking to create a beautiful and long-lasting outdoor space.

Such a great find! I needed my side gate upgraded and Ed Shubin was so helpful in getting me just the right piece of lumber. He knew exactly what was needed according to my specifications! The lumber was top notch and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Ed!

Roy and team have been amazing! We got high quality ipe and cumaru wood from them for our backyard fence and deck. The wood is just phenomenal. The team is also extremely professional – always responding to our questions, providing helpful tips, and finding ways to make our project work within budget and schedule. Highly, highly recommend!

The best place to get Brazilian hardwood that I\’ve found anywhere in California or online. The customer service is very good, the reps are attentive to you upon arrival and they are very knowledgeable. The quality of wood is superb and the pricing is cheaper than I can find anywhere else.

Absolutely the best place in socal for all of your tropical hardwood needs. Just built a small deck with 5/4 x 6 cumaru sourced from BL. Their prices can\’t be beat locally. The selection is also great. They have all the major hardwood species.

Had a great experience with George the sales rep. He was very knowledgeable and honest. We ended up buying some thermally modified ayous panels for an outdoor media wall. So far so good. It looks great and hopefully will last for decades. (I sealed it with Cutek Extreme so hopefully that prolongs the lifespan). Thank you George!! Everyone has told us how much they really like the cladding used for our media wall and we appreciate your help with our project.
