Ipe deck boards were a perfect choice for thre the rooftop bar/ pool area.  Not only will these deck boards get wet and need to remain slip-free, it will also be 100% exposed to the weather.  Ipe deck boards will hold to that with absolutley no maintainance for over 40 years1  And that’s important in this case because construction projects on a roof top cost much more than deck building in most other places.  Since it’s an upscale hotel it was also important to them to keep the pool /  bar area open.  By  usine the ipe decking instead of something else, it’ll be a long time before they have to close this area to replace deck boards.

I’ll tell you:  between 20 and 50 times!

The one thing missing from the Peddler’s Village dining experience was an alfresco setting. Not any more. As of this spring, Sweet Lorraine’s Café & Bar, the village’s newest restaurant, offers affordable “world beat cuisine” on its expansive outdoor deck, built from the Brazilian hardwood ipe.
