A dense, durable hardwood post ideal for structural support, fence posts, pergola frames, and heavy-duty outdoor builds. Naturally strong and fire-safe.

Price range: $165.92 through $456.28

overview

Ipe 4×4 posts are built for strength and made to last. Measuring 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches, these solid hardwood beams are commonly used for vertical supports in decks, pergolas, and fencing. The dense grain and high oil content of Ipe make it naturally resistant to moisture, termites, and decay. Each board is kiln-dried and FSC-certified to ensure stability and sustainability. The 4×4 profile adds visual weight and structural reliability to any outdoor design, while the clean S4S E4E milling provides a smooth, uniform finish. Ipe also carries a Class A fire rating, giving you added safety in fire-prone zones without needing chemical treatments.

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.
