Review of Ipe wood | Hardwood Discount
Premium Slatted Fencing & Ipé Decking
"An architectural masterpiece in our backyard"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We were looking for a fence that offers privacy but also truly adds to the architecture of our home. This Ipé slatted fence is exactly what we wanted. The horizontal lines give our garden a modern, tranquil feel. The timber has a beautiful, even colour and the finish is very high-end. It was worth every penny; our neighbours constantly ask where we got it!"

"Simple assembly with a professional result"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I was a bit hesitant about installing the fence myself, but the system from Hardwood Discount is very well thought out. The slats are easy to work with and the instructions were clear. What I particularly like is that the fence remains 'airy' yet provides almost no visibility into the garden. The result is perfectly straight, and the hidden fixings ensure there are no unsightly screw heads anywhere. Top product!"

"Finally privacy without feeling enclosed"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★
"Our previous fence was solid and made the garden very dark. This slatted fence allows subtle light and air through but completely blocks the view from neighbours. It gives a very spacious effect. The Ipé wood is slowly silvering into a beautiful grey tone, exactly as we wanted. One star off because delivery was a day late, but the quality of the timber makes up for everything."

"Best quality slats on the market"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"As a landscaper, I install fences every week, but the FAS quality of this Ipé timber stands head and shoulders above the rest. The slats are straight, uniform in size, and show very little colour variation. The system works quickly and efficiently, saving me a lot of labour time. I always recommend this system to my clients when they want a durable, modern garden that will still be standing in 25 years."

"Finally a sleek terrace without gaps" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
I chose the Ipé boards with tongue and groove all around, and it was the best decision. The end-matched connection made it very easy to lay in a random pattern without the ends lifting. Everything clicks together beautifully, and because I ensured the joints always land on a joist, the terrace feels as solid as an indoor floor. Not a screw in sight!
— Sander V."Minimal waste, maximum result" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
What a top-tier system. Because the boards interlock at the ends, I had almost zero waste. The offcut from one row became the start of the next. It takes some careful measuring to make sure the joint hits the joist perfectly, but once it's in place, nothing shifts. Ipé is incredibly hard, so pre-drilling is a must.
— Marc de J."Stunning outdoor parquet effect" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Our deck looks like a luxury parquet floor. The tongue and groove on the short sides ensures the boards align perfectly. We laid them in a random pattern, and the clips are hidden neatly in the side grooves. Having the end joints resting firmly on the joists provides a very safe and stable feel when walking on it.
— Annelies T."Tough job, but absolutely worth it" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5
Ipé is beautiful wood but very heavy. The click system on the ends works great for getting the boards perfectly straight. I set the joists at 40cm intervals so every end connection has full support. The random pattern result looks very natural and showcases the wood's colour variations perfectly.
— Robert-Jan K.Our Tip: Always ensure that the board joints land directly on a joist. This prevents the lines between the joints from shifting and keeps them straight over the long term. There is no need to use double clips at the joint; one clip on either side is sufficient. Feel free to choose your own laying pattern (random bond).

"Stunning result and surprisingly fast to install!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about laying a hardwood deck, but this clip system is a game-changer. No visible screws and the boards are automatically perfectly spaced. The Ipé timber is absolute top quality—perfectly straight with a beautiful deep colour. The deck looks incredibly sleek without any screw holes ruining the aesthetic. The extra cost for the click system is worth every penny!"

"For our new modern villa, we were looking for a terrace that radiates calm and luxury. These Ipé decking boards with hidden fixings met all our requirements. The boards are extremely stable and the wood feels incredibly solid. What I particularly like about this system is that the timber can move naturally without screws loosening or snapping.

Title: "Best grade of Ipé I’ve seen in years"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"As a landscaper, I work with Ipé frequently, but the quality from Hardwood Discount is true FAS grade. Very little colour variation and practically no warped boards. The clip system is intuitive and easily saved me 30% in labour time compared to traditional screwing. A must-buy for anyone prioritising quality and a clean, high-end finish. Highly recommended."

"Not a screw in sight—what a result!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I was initially torn between traditional screwing or this click system, but I’m so glad I chose the latter. The main advantage is that you don't see a single screw head in the beautiful Ipé timber. The clips automatically ensure the correct 5mm spacing, so your deck ends up perfectly straight without any measurement errors. It took me half the time I usually spend on pre-drilling and countersinking. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a clean, modern look."

Title: "Finally a system that handles the natural movement of Ipé"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★
"As a professional, I work with hardwood every day. Ipé is incredibly hard and can move significantly due to weather conditions. Many clip systems fail after a year, but these steel clips from Hardwood Discount are rock-solid. They give the board enough room to 'breathe' without the connection becoming loose. The FAS-quality of the timber combined with this system creates a deck that lasts for decades. My clients are particularly impressed by the 'hidden' finish."

Title: "Luxurious look and barefoot-friendly"
⭐⭐⭐⭐★
"We wanted a luxury wellness area by our pool, and these Ipé decking boards with the click system complete the picture perfectly. The biggest plus? Since there are no screws in the surface, there are no splinters around drill holes. This makes it perfectly safe to walk on barefoot, which is ideal with the kids. The wood has a beautiful, even colour. The only thing is that you have to align the first row very carefully, but after that, you just click the rest into place. Top quality!"
