Ipe Deck and Porch on Rob Roy at the Lake in West Austin, TX

The project features warm, inviting natural Ipe hardwood decking on the floor of both the deck and covered porch. Ipe is a favorite among Central Texas homeowners as a material for outdoor living. The material is valued for its density, strength, longevity and beauty. We used black Fortress vertical cable rail that allows clear views into the valley below. Photos courtesy Archadeck of Austin
