Structural Ipe wood deck tiles are 24" x 24" x 1.5″ (nom.) prefabricated panels of Brazilian hardwood slats screwed to three solid wood support battens with stainless steel screws. This results in a tile with exceptional strength, durability and resistance to flexing.

Structural wood tiles are specifically designed to be used with SkyJack adjustable height pedestals for construction of elevated decks on rooftops or decks over sloping or uneven surfaces. Alternatively, the tiles can be laid over existing concrete using fixed height spacers to lift the tiles off the surface and ensure good drainage. Structural wood tiles can be used for most commercial or residential applications including rooftop decks, elevated terraces, plazas, and other large exterior spaces.
