  1. Different Types of Woods Used for Hardwood Decking—Which Are the Best Woods for Hardwood Decking? Should you use Ipe decking for your new deck? What about other materials like cedar, composites, or plastic? The choice is ultimately up to you, but if you want to get the best value for your money, hardwoods like Ipe won’t disappoint. Getting to know the best types of wood for decking  Ipe decking You can never go wrong with using Ipe as a decking material. This Brazilian hardwood is a top choice that is widely known for its durability and sustainability. In fact, Ipe has a score of 3680 on the Janka Scale of Hardness, making it significantly stronger than oak, teak, and mahogany. On top of its durability, Ipe is also famous for its resistance to several issues. This material can withstand everything from moisture to insects, allowing it to last 50 or more years. Finally, Ipe requires relatively low maintenance and only needs to be stained with finisher every few years if you want to maintain the color. Otherwise, it will just last for decades.  Cumaru decking Of course, Ipe decking is not for everyone. For example, if the color of Ipe wood doesn’t quite match the design you want to achieve, you might want to try other Brazilian hardwood alternatives such as Cumaru and Garapa. Only a few points below Ipe on the Janka scale, Cumaru is a durable and long-lasting hardwood that can resist rot, decay, and harsh weather. It is best known for its striking appearance, featuring a rich red hue or a yellow shine. Cumaru is also faster and more affordable to produce than Ipe, making it an ideal alternative if you’re on a tight budget.  Garapa decking Looking for something even more affordable? Then, Garapa wood is the way to go. Also known as Brazilian oak, this hardwood has a significantly lower price than Ipe and other composite decking materials.

  2. Despite its price, Garapa exhibits natural resistance to mold and insects. Moreover, it has a Janka Hardness rating of 2280. Still harder than Oak. Are you ready to build your new deck? Don’t hesitate to go for the best Brazilian hardwood and invest in Ipe decking! You can source your materials from a trusted hardwood supplier that offers high-quality and sustainable products in the USA.
