5/4 x 6 Advantage Mahogany™ Wood Decking Shorts – Strength, Style, and Smart Utility

Enhance your outdoor living space with the warm, refined beauty of 5/4 x 6 Advantage Mahogany™ Decking Shorts, made from select-grade Red Balau. This tropical hardwood is cherished for its deep reddish-brown tones, smooth grain, and reliable performance in all climates. Naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insects, it’s a trusted material for builders seeking lasting beauty with structural integrity.

The 5/4 thickness provides superior strength for high-traffic areas, while the 6-inch face delivers broad coverage with fewer seams—perfect for a clean, modern look. In short lengths, these boards offer unmatched flexibility, better material yield, and easier handling for detailed or space-conscious installations.

Perfect for High-End Projects Where Strength Meets Design Freedom

5/4 x 6 Advantage Mahogany™ decking shorts are excellent for:

Decks with patterned or decorative layouts, including chevron, herringbone, or framed edges
Docks, patios, and rooftop decks where maneuverability and airflow are essential
Stair treads, risers, borders, and fascia that benefit from the board’s added thickness
Privacy fences, modern railings, and screen panels with a premium appearance
Outdoor kitchens, seating walls, and grill islands
Covered ceilings, soffits, and architectural wall cladding
Benches, planter boxes, custom trim, and exterior furniture

These short-length boards reduce waste, simplify transport, and open up creative possibilities—without sacrificing the rich look and rugged performance of Advantage Mahogany™. Whether you're a contractor designing a high-end build or a homeowner upgrading a compact space, these decking shorts offer value, flexibility, and unmistakable elegance.

Boycott the Middle Man

Discover How IpeDepot.com Offers Sustainable Ipe Decking at Such Low Prices

Since the inception of our company, we've purposely avoided, and have boycotted anyone in our procurement staff and our producers throughout Brazil from dealing with lumber brokers, traders, or mills with a reputation of non-compliance. While other company's might fall for the tricks and deceptive practices that many brokers and mills employ, we've heard enough horror stories from customers that have been burned to know that it's sometimes better to take the more righteous path. This simple action of avoiding the middleman has enabled us to consistently import and ship only the best, sustainably harvested Ipe wood decking to you, our valued customers.
