[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 325315, member: 1523"] .062 or .080" if you plan on supporting it every foot or so. .100" get's heavy quickly. My front deck is .062 with a pair of 13" x 21" spaces with no support and I don't notice it flexing. What is supported is 1/8" x 1" angle or some 1" x 3" C channel extrusions with a couple risers. Most folks really underrate aluminum's strength and go way oversize. [/QUOTE]
