[QUOTE="bbartman713, post: 371739, member: 15510"] got most the framing done for my deck this weekend. I used 1.5"x 1.5" angled aluminum that was 1/8" thick. I used stainless steel 1/4"-20 bolts with self locking fasteners and self tapping screws. I'm happy with how its coming along. im not done but i weigh 215 lbs and it holds be fine. I had my buddy measure the sag and with me standing on it. and it didn't move a measurable about so i am happy with that. i have about 30 more feet of aluminum to play with so it should be plenty sturdy i dont know if i want to use aluminum for the deck or use wood. im leaning towards aluminum i want it to be weather resistant. also Im not sure where i want to mount my batteries. i was thinking where they are in the pictures but i think i need to move them to the back to balance out the weight.....IDK yet i am going to take it out with them loose and see how it balances.
