[QUOTE="pwshepard, post: 218899, member: 6720"] Finally made a decision. I decided to do it right and bought a couple 4 x 8 x 1/8" aluminum sheets. Along with a couple 25 foot sticks of 1 1/2" angle aluminum for bracing. I decided it would be much easier to finish out the aluminum compared to the wood. Initially I thought the aluminum would be a lot lighter, but to my surprise, that's not the case. It's only about 5 pounds lighter than the plywood decks I had already cut. The good thing was that I already had my deck templates cut, so cutting the aluminum went really smooth. [/QUOTE]
