[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 355509, member: 9470"] For the support angle 1/16 should be ok if there's enough of it. As far as a deck surface 1/16 won't be strong enough by itself to support the weight of you walking on it. It's gonna need a lot of bracing underneath. I used road signs for my floor but I put styrofoam between the ribs first the riveted the aluminum to the ribs. It worked real good. I made a couple smaller access doors from it but they won't be walked on. The ones I will be walking on have additional support. You could always go to a thicker aluminum like 1/4" [/QUOTE]
