“Using Ipe TimberStrong deck panels allowed us to build our customer a beautifully finished product without eating into our bottom line labor costs, taking considerably less time than we budgeted.”

An 8-foot by 20-foot dock and 3½- by 21-foot gangway; both decked with grooved Ipe decking, installed in 1½ hours by 2 carpenters.

The project consists of a total of 11 floating dock sections of which 7 required the installation of nearly 1,500 square feet of composite decking.
