Decking Color Sample Kits
Assemble curated sample kits using these 1‑ft samples combined with trim, screw, and hardware samples plus care instructions. Sell kits online or include them in bids so clients can see the realistic Brazilian Ipe finish in their space before committing to a full deck.
Branded Trade Show Giveaways
Turn the nonreturnable samples into durable, branded promo pieces—laser‑engrave company logos or contact info and offer them as practical giveaways (mini signs, phone stands, or key racks). They're eye‑catching, demonstrate product quality, and last far longer than paper flyers.
Hands‑On DIY Workshop Product
Host paid workshops (in‑person or virtual kits) teaching customers how to make coasters, shelves, or signs from these samples. Charge for admission and sell additional samples, tools, and finishing kits at the event—an excellent lead‑gen channel for decking sales and a revenue stream on its own.
Weatherproof Home Decor Line for Online Store
Create a small product line (coasters, mini shelves, outdoor picture frames, address plaques) made from these composite samples and sell via Etsy/Shopify targeted at patio/home decor buyers. Emphasize low maintenance, scratch/stain resistance, and suitability for outdoor use to differentiate from typical wood decor.

Weatherproof Wall Art Panels
Join 2–4 one‑foot boards side by side to create a textured, wood‑look wall panel for patios or entryways. Cut the ends for a staggered edge, router a shallow groove pattern or inlay thin metal strips for contrast, then mount with hidden Z‑brackets. The composite surface resists fading and cleaning is easy—ideal for outdoor or high‑humidity spots.
Outdoor Coaster + Trivet Set
Cut the 1 ft board into coaster and trivet sizes, round the corners, and glue on thin cork or silicone bumpers on the underside for grip. For food contact areas, finish edges with a food‑safe sealant or recommend using a separate food‑safe top layer. The UltraShield coating makes these extremely scratch‑ and stain‑resistant for patio dining.
Mini Floating Planter Shelf
Use the full 1×6 sample as a small floating shelf for potted herbs or succulents outside. Pre‑drill and use stainless steel hidden mounts to keep the sleek look. The durable composite won’t warp in wet conditions, so it’s great for mounting near cooking areas or on balcony railings.
Custom Garden Markers & Small Signs
Cut the board into stakeable signs or small plaques, paint or laser‑etch plant names, house numbers, or welcome messages. Bond the cut pieces to metal stakes or hardwood dowels. The coated surface stays legible and resists weathering better than untreated wood.
