In my area (the Florida Keys) they significantly increase the heat of the home. A good alternative to pressure treated lumber is IPE. If one actually does a little digging they can find it from sellers close to the source and get it for pennies on the dollar. I did 2000 sq ft of wrap around decking for right at 10K. That was with me installing it, but pressure treated would have been 8K with me installing it.
- DubiousPusher 6y agoIpe is an amazing material. Found a lot of prefinished ipe flooring at a habitat for humanity store a few years back and did the top floor of the townhome I had at the time in it. Really beautiful and very resilient. It's become hard to find in tongue and groove flooring lately. Abundant for decking though.
