built a wrap around porch on the back of this guys
house to dress it up.... using fir for the decking
stained with clear sealer after sanding with 300.
the owner said it was so beautiful that it was the
reason the house sold so fast and at a great price.
Ipe is bullet proof, 100 years from now the house will be gone and the porch will still be there ! 😀
But for that authentic old school look (IMO) I'd say 1x4 virtual grn fir with a good clear uv blocker,,, it will gray up in time, not the same look as paint but a lot less upkeep.
