I am building a new home and have two outdoor areas exactly alike, main floor and lower level.

The home is stick built, but the outdoor areas will be steel and concrete floors on both levels with slate tile and the roof will be stick framed. The home is on top of a mountain and we will get some real Strong winds and blowing rains.

Each outdoor area is approx 1200 sf. and about half will be closed off with sliding glass walls to protect the bar and grilling areas from the weather.

I want to use something on the ceiling with as little maintance as possible. I had thought about using Ipe as a ceiling material, but I am not sure.

Besides 1x6 TG does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks
