It’s decking season!  Time to get out there and enjoy your beautiful deck…oh wait you need a deck!  Don’t worry, you are at the right place.  There are many options when it come to great decking.

Now when you are talking about exotic decking most people first think Ipe.

1.  Ipe – or Brazilian Walnut is one of the most common decks in the US right now.  It’s hard, it’s sturdy, it’s got a class A fire rating, and of course it’s beautiful.  It became famous after the Port of  Yokohama in Japan installed this famous Ipe deck.  It really got a lot of attention and you can see why …it’s BIG!

Now after all of this popularity and use, you can imagine it’s getting harder to find and more expensive.  Ipe comes out of Brazil, and due to the demand there is less of it today than there was 10 years ago.  Ipe unfortunately doesn’t grow well on plantations so almost 100% of the Ipe today comes from deforestation. There are many responsible Ipe importers (some of them we call our close friends) …so no Ipe bashing here, just telling the truth about the future.  So, what else is out there you say?

Teak, of course.  Teak has long been one of the most famous woods used in ship building for  centuries.  It’s dark golden color, and resistance to the elements make it the holy grail of woods.  However, it’s been hard to find and very expensive, that is until people realized you can grow teak in Mexico and Central America.  (it’s indigenous to a few countries in SE Asia)  Since it was expensive and difficult to find it fell out of general favor with the public for residential and commercial decking applications.  But you know what, it’s back!

Proteak Renewable Forestry now has over 16,000 acres of teak plantations under cultivation, and growing every day.  The difference between Ipe and Teak is that Teak DOES grow well on plantations making it THE Wood of the future.  Teak also has those great qualities that you are looking for in decking from great aesthetics, to a hardiness that is unmatched among hardwoods.  For specifics on teak you can look here:  http://www.proteak.com/plantation-teak/
