San Francisco Decking Projects

San Francisco Decks

There are many famous decks, boardwalks, docks, wharves, piers and bridges that are made from tropical hardwood decking. Ipe Decking, the king of all deck materials, is almost always the choice deck board material for these projects. There are many reasons to choose ipe decking for a municipal project, the main ones governments and larger business use are:

• Cost Savings
  • Initially Ipe Decking costs a little more than other deck boards, but since they can last over 100 years (versus 10 for pressure treated) this alone makes it an obvious choice.
• Liability
  • Ipe decking is the strongest common wooden deck material one can purchase. This helps prevents splinters and fall throughs.

Here's some San Francisco deck projects, some famous and some private:

Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 Both of these large marine structures use Ipe Decking. If it can stand up to this . . .
Private San Francisco Deck Paradise during construction: An Ipe Deck, Garapa chairs, in the future there will even be an ipe pergola at the top of those steps for shade and additional privacy.
California Ipe Deck: A beautiful yard deserves a beautiful deck. Short winding paths, 2 fire pits on the deck and a stunning vista! Did you know that Ipe Decking is so dense, it's fire resistant? To the right is a close up of some of the deck boards at twilight. Wait till you see the whole thing, this deck is stunning!
