Ipe Depot sells FSC Ipe for a variety of applications. At Ipe Depot we offer our customers a wide variety of certified FSC Ipe products that we obtain direct from lumber mills across South America. As a FSC Chain of Custody company, we work in direct contact with lumber mills through our FSC representative to make sure the Ipe products we are selling are harvested responsibly. Since we are direct importers of all of our FSC Ipe Decking you can be certain that the FSC wood you purchase is of the utmost quality.

The Forest Stewardship Council ( FSC ) was established in 1993 to promote responsible forest management around the world. In over a decade, the FSC has set up offices in over 46 countries to become the worldwide leader overseeing responsibly harvested materials.

If you are going after a high LEED rating and want to take advantage of the MRc5 and MRc7 LEED credits, then purchasing FSC Ipe is an ideal choice. You can count on us to provide our FSC certification in a timely manner so that the qualification process does not get held up.

We also feature fast shipping times and can have your shipment of FSC Ipe to your job site in a matter of days, not weeks. If you need materials other than certified ipe, we can also supply a variety of other FSC certified wood materials.
