[QUOTE="Brine, post: 69462, member: 1053"] I just ran the math on my upcoming project for the DECK ONLY. Approx 16' x 4' = 64sq.ft .125 Auminum Plate = 1.76lb/sq.ft. x 64 = [size=5]112.64lbs[/size] 3/4 plywood (unsealed) = 2.13/sq.ft x 64 = 136.32lbs + 1/2 gallon of sealer = 4.25lbs = [size=5]140.57lbs[/size]. Difference [size=5]27.93lbs[/size]. Not as dramatic as I would have expected. For me, this decision will be based on longevity vs price, not weight. Again, this is for the DECK ONLY. Hope this helps someone else other than me. [/QUOTE]
