Today I wanted to show you Bob Vila guiding you through an ipe deck installation. To be frank, the way this deck was installed could have been a LOT better.

For one, they are not using deck fasteners which would make the finished deck look immaculate. Instead, they settle for a face screwing method. You can tell that this deck is being built with speed in mind. Also, Bob Vila mispronounces ipe by calling it eye-pay (i-pay)…I could go on, but ultimately, the general description about why ipe decking is a superior material to use is pretty much spot on. Bob does a good job of detailing how this roof deck needed to be constructed and the methods used to make sure that it would be a sound structure.

Enjoy…
