Do you install with space between the IPE boards?

Just wondering if water can "sit" in between the boards and cause quicker "rotting" of the boards.

    Gapping the deck boards allows for drainage and also ventilation; the size of the gap we use will depend on the moisture level in the wood and the type of wood.
