Ipe Wall Cladding for Canopies | Narrow Slatted Wood Design

"Easy mounting, stunning result"

As you can see in the photos, we installed the boards from the bottom up to ensure the cleanest possible finish at the top of our structure. It worked out brilliantly. Installing from the bottom up is definitely doable. For the first section, however, it’s advisable to work in a team of three to fix the first two rows in one go. After that, it’s easy enough for two people. The tip to place clips at the butt joints (end connections) as well was worth its weight in gold! Otherwise, we wouldn’t have realised until halfway through or at the very end... and the lines wouldn’t have stayed as neat over time. For the best result, we lightly sanded the slats, wiped them down, and then treated them with hardwood oil. We opted for a dark oil, which gives the wood an even more beautiful and warmer colour. We are absolutely delighted with the final result!"

Hardwood discount

Thank you for the detailed review! Indeed, it's not just our Ipe oil that is suitable. Our oil has a low pigment content; however, if you choose an oil with a higher pigment concentration, the wood will take on a darker tone. This is exactly the kind of personal touch you can add to your own project. Enjoy your new structure, the final result looks truly stunning!"
