The Eva-Last Pioneer True Ipe Grooved/Solid Starter Board — 20 ft is the perimeter-edge companion to Eva-Last's Pioneer grooved decking, built for the first and last board in a deck run. One edge carries the standard groove for HULK hidden fastener clips, while the opposite edge is solid and square — ideal for butting against a house, wall, or other fixed structure where a visible fastener or grooved edge isn't wanted. At 5.71" wide × 0.84" thick and 20 feet long, it shares the same bamboo foamed-PVC and glass fiber-reinforced core and photorealistic True Ipe print surface as the standard grooved board, so the deck's perimeter matches the field boards with no visible transition.
