[QUOTE="trailpac, post: 43361, member: 727"] I do plan on using 5/8"-3/4" decking. That is the main reason I want to use aluminum framing. I want a solid deck, but I need to keep the weight down. The extra money I will deal with. I just want to do it right. I plan to redesign my framing layout for use of the angle, including vertical columns. I am looking to use structural alum. angle instead of the typical architectural angle found at HD and Lowes. The trusses will most likely be welded and not fastened with rivets. Although, that is my second choice. My question is, what size angle do you guys usually use for the main floor joist? I know different spans require different sizes. My longest possible span is 4'-8". Thanks again for all the help you guys are providing. This is great. [/QUOTE]
