[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 306333, member: 9587"] Got a line on some 2x2x1/8" square toob for $4/foot ($80 for a 20' piece) Seems expensive but I should only need 40' to build all the supports for my floor and decking, plus some scrap sheet and angle for any other assorted bracketry. If you factor the cost of wood, spar varnish, ss hardware and angle brackets.. Not to mention the hours to finish all that wood, I think it's a good investment. We get a lot of rain here and I plan on taking it into the salt so I'm not sure how well wood is going to hold up. The decking and floor boards will be stained and varnished wood however because I like the way it looks. It also feels really nice on bare feet in the hot sun. Finding enough aluminum sheet for a good price had been tough so wood it is. 1/2 exterior ply, coat of walnut stain, 3 coats of spar varnish. I did up a quick computer drawing of what the layout will be that I will post later. Excited to get back at it but currently the situation seems to be: motivation, money and time - you can only pick two! [/QUOTE]
