Isn ipe decking more expensive than pine?
The initial cost is higher. But consider that you’ll never have to pay for new boards nor pay for the skilled labor to replace them in your life, then the price advantage obviously goes to ipe! This is assuming, your cheap pine doesn’t warp, splinter or get moldy ahead of schedule as frequently occurs with this poor quality wood. Overall, ipe decking has a better return on investment than pressure treated decking and composite decking.
