[QUOTE="Cheeseball, post: 115325, member: 838"] I don't know that there is a best angle to use. I think it depends on your situation. I used 1 1/2" angle, a combination of 1/8" and 1/16" thick. Using the 1/8" thickness for longer spans and places bearing the most load. I used the 1/16" as braces and framed most of the back deck. Front got the heavier gauge 1/8" stuff and the braces are 1/16". [img]https://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr37/zzcheeseballzz/photo13.jpg[/img] I didn't want to add too much extra weight to the back so I framed all of it in 1/16. It's not a long span. The end result is very sturdy. [img]https://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr37/zzcheeseballzz/photo1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
