cost difference:1x6 or 5/4x6 ipe

18 years ago

It's going to cost me $1370 more to go with 5/4" instead of 1". If I am using 16" center joist is it worth the difference? If I use the 1" and only use 2 SS #10 2 1/2" screws do you think I will be safe from cuping or should I use 3 screws?

Thanks for you input.
