A friend’s parents are moving and offered me a pile (about 500 sqft) of ipe for free. it was used as a deck for a few years, not sure why it was taken down. I checked it out today and took a few pictures.
We have an enclosed back porch with ugly stained concrete floor, with screen walls. I was thinking about putting down sleepers and installing the ipe over it.
The ipe has been used of course, and needs a pressure washing. It was installed with plastic biscuits which I think is good because there aren’t existing holes I’d need to plug. It also has 45’s cut at each end which I’m guessing was for a certain look when installed.
Sontheres work to do - pressure wash (I have one), trim each end square, lay sleepers, install.
What do do you guys think? Worth it? Hard to beat the price.
