iDeck

Can somebody tell me where I can get ipe hardwood decking from?

I live in South Wales (UK) and am looking for Ipe hardwood decking. I will need it to be delivered to Cardiff, and need the best possible price.



Many thanks

1. I am familiar w/ Ipe as we have it in most of our house. It's a finicky wood that requires MAJOR humidity to be stable indoors. I think you have to buy a specially treated type for a deck. I know it is so water resistant they actually use it for the posts on boat docks/ piers that go into the water. I typed in IPE and came up w/ numerous sites selling it for decking. Since it is an exotic wood, and not from the US, but readily available here, I would think it would be to you in the UK as well. Try www.ipedepot.com If they don't ship to the UK, I am pretty sure they can tell you who does.
2. http://www.savoytimber.com supply Ipe decking, if you click on their delivery link at the base of the page it will tell you the charges, or maybe ring/email for confirmation.
