TWP 116 is the number for rustic in the 100 series. I build/stain decks in Texas & still used TWP in the 100 series all the time. Check your Kelly Moore paint store. I've seen the ipe oil on a display deck inside a deck supply house here, looks nice. However it is a fairly new product, at least around here, so I want to see how it works outside here before I use it.

16'' on center will do it. J.

I vote install the frame first. J.

Hey John, I haven't been by in a while. I am in the process of cleaning my 3-4 year old ipe/garapa deck. Oh my gosh. Hardi Plank install starts in two weeks. I see that you never use a pressure washer. I have the oxalic acid. Is scrubbing the dirt the only safe way to clean? **** Deck is great - the local architect saw it a few weeks ago, he asked where I got those ideas (woods etc). He said he wished he had a deck like that. I told him I got the ideas from some bike riding good ole boy on gardenweb.com What a hoot!! Thanks!!!! tom (the deck as it was before the dirt!!)
