Florida Decks

Welcome to Ipe Decking Florida!

We love our decks in Florida. They become another room in our home. A lot of families are found on their decks every night. Restaurants use the quality and usability of their deck as a way to compete. In short, Florida loves decks.

Here's some things to think about when choosing decking in general and then Florida decking:

Decks and Decking:

Exposed to sunlight, more so in summer months.
Exposed to rain
Might be exposed to mold in extreme circumstances or improper installation.
Even rarer is mildew on decking material.
Provide a wonderful outdoor space that usable for the summer, part of the spring and fall during the day.

Florida Decks and Florida Decking:

Exposed to extreme sunlight
Florida is much closer to the equator than the rest of the country, even closer than it appears on maps.
Summer lasts 9 months.
Rains every day during the wet season
Most of Florida is officially in the Sub-Tropics, the southern part of Florida is officially in the Tropics. (link)
Florida is the lightening capital of the U.S.!
All that moisture make mold and mildew a very real and persistent problem for Homeowners.
Florida Decks are counted on by our guests, used frequently at night and all year round. Outdoor living is a huge part of the Florida lifestyle.
Florida has the most voracious termites in the U.S.
There's more wood eating insects for your Fl deck needs to worry about than just termites.
Florida Decks are often built on ground that's soft and shifting. This can put deck boards in a bind and make them fail if they aren't strong enough.
