[QUOTE="-CN-, post: 493328, member: 18939"] Interesting take on using foam board for decking. I've thought of using FRP as well, but it is expensive. You've revealed in your research there that by the time you build a 4x8 sheet of decking in this fashion you are over $100 per sheet. And that's not even your finished surface. What are you going to put over it? I learned that the foam board over an already existing solid structure will work fine on its own - the weight savings of foregoing the FRP in areas like this is astronimical, as foam weighs nearly nothing on its own. I like your idea for any places that require structure. A little less expensive than marine plywood, and a little bit lighter.
