I was an easy sell, I hate Trex and we got a bunch of Ipe cut offs from a dock they were building in the bight in Key West.
(we packed it home on the ferry)
When we were deciding I brought her a piece of trex, a piece of the solid plastic and the Ipe. I was happy she took the Ipe but I still griped about it
Now that I am committed, I am using the Ipe for the sills and I am building a small bar top from some. I did get a deal on a 10 foot stick ($20) because the edges were not finished but I am jointing it anyway so I a happy guy. It is $5.50 a linear foot normally.
I am really surprised the smurf is not more popular tho.
It gives me all the benefits of a raceway system without a cost much more than Romex.
