Overview

Ipe 5/4×6 boards are a top choice for premium outdoor projects. First, the finished size is 1″ x 5.5″, which gives extra thickness and a more solid feel. As a result, the boards perform well in busy areas and long-span layouts. The robustness of IPE 5/4×6 is particularly beneficial in such environments.

These boards work great for pool decks, patios, rooftops, and walkways. In addition, many builders use the same profile for fencing, siding, and soffits when they want a stronger, more substantial look. Indeed, the IPE 5/4×6 profile enhances the aesthetic appeal of these structures.

Each board comes kiln-dried for better stability. It is also FSC-certified for responsible sourcing. Moreover, the smooth S4S E4E milling creates clean edges and a polished finish. That means faster install and a more refined final look, making IPE 5/4×6 a convenient choice for builders.

Ipe is naturally dense and rich in oils. Because of that, it resists water, insects, and decay. It also offers strong fire performance. Therefore, you get long service life with minimal maintenance when using IPE 5/4×6.

Had a great experience with 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… Thank you!! Everyone has told us how much they really like the cladding used for our media wall and we appreciate your help with our project.

Best prices and quality I found after looking at a few different places for lumber for my deck project. Customer service was excellent and they helped me with my selections, staff was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend Beyond Lumber and they will be my go to place for future projects.

Roy and his team are hard to beat. These guys are great, I’m a deck builder myself and their customer services is on point. Thanks for all your help team!

We had an excellent experience with Beyond Lumber. Their team was knowledgeable, professional, and guided us through every step of choosing the right materials. The quality of the IPE and other hardwoods was outstanding—everything arrived on time and exactly as promised. Beyond Lumber truly cares about customer service and delivers top-notch products. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for premium decking and outdoor materials

I started buying IPE from Brazilian Lumber over one year ago before the vendor opened the California location (i.e. where I am located). There were some issues related to the lumber (IPE), BUT the vendor made sure that all was taken care of and that I was happy. I mentioned “the issues” not to say that they product is bad, but rather to stressed out that the vendor provides superb service. No matter what you do, the problems may happen. Important is how such situations are handled. I was working with Luis, great guy to work with. I recommend this vendor.

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.
