This elevated deck was built to allow a clear view and natural look in a wooded area in the North Atlanta metro region using Ipe decking and metal railing systems.
This deck has several activity zones including a cooking area, a bar, a dining and siiting area, with room left over for browsing around.
Due to the structural requirements and bracing needed for this design with level changes and elevations, an effort was made to soften the understructure by staining it black.

LooksGREAT!!
What do you use far a final finish on ipe so that all of the natural beauty remains?
Thanks alwayslearnn
We've used a couple of different products including Penofin and Cabots.
We've been using TWP lately with some pigment that helps somewhat in terms of retarding weathering.
Truth is the beauty does not remain long. These decks ideally require the customer to be on a deck maintenance program to keep the nice rich look.
