[QUOTE="tsaints1115, post: 297127, member: 10007"] Another option, one I'm going with as I switch to aluminum, is a threaded nutsert or compression rivet. Drill the hole, insert the rivet and compression tool, after it's compressed you have a fitting that a screw can thread into to hold the aluminum down. Plus for maintenance you can unscrew the deck and reattach as needed. As far as aluminum sheet and angle material check around for a metal suppliethatht carries used metal. Many times you can finreturneded material from someone that ordered extra. It's still new but sells at a used price. That's where I got all of mine at $2.50 a pound. [/QUOTE]
