One more question. How much per square foot was the Ipe at this length? Thanks!

Bonaventuira Architects, that is a really beautiful Ipe deck. Normally not a lot of people opt to go with the 5/4x4 boards unless they absolutely must. It seems like you used some 5/4x6 or 2x6 Ipe for the top of the railing as well?

tconsi. Ipe is one of those woods that entirely depends on who you're getting it from. Most local lumber yards won't have it and must have it special ordered. Also, Ipe is typically priced per lineal foot. Currently our 5/4x4 Ipe is $2.87 per lineal foot which is $9.84 per square foot.

If you have any other questions feel free to send us a message or give us a call!

That is an excellent price at $2.87 and Ipe is a great product for cable railings. We use it in combination with our steel post systems frequently. Ipe is the best timber for sustaining cable tension. Local yards are charging upwards of $4-5$ per lineal foot for 5/4 Ipe stock. We really like the molded Ipe top as well. Do you guys at advantage carry the molded (round) 2x6 product?

Hey San Diego Cable Railings,

Thank you for the compliment on the price. If i understand correctly it may be the hand rail you are talking about? I'll attach some pictures to make things clearer.

We also carry dimensional Ipe up to 6x6.

Hello Advantage,
Those are both nice profiles that would work perfectly with our pre-made railing posts. We will be in contact with you guys very soon about your product line and pricing. We actually mill, drill, and pre finish Ipe posts and railings; and distribute them nationwide. Have not used the small rail cap profile or seen locally. I think our customers would love it, especially for stair railings. Photos attached; thanks again.

Hi everyone. Thanks! I'm assuming this does not translate to labor costs. I am receiving quotes that include labor and the material used to attach the Ipe to the steel. So I'm getting 60-80/sq foot costs. This seems very high. Does this sound typical or high? Thanks!
