[QUOTE="BigDougA, post: 248955, member: 8066"] Ok, I have the bug, now I am trying to make the decision on decking material. I am leaning towards an aluminum diamond plate for my deck. The thing is I didn't pay enough attention back in junior high shop. (Hey, it was 38 years ago!) If I remember correctly when it comes to gauge and metal the bigger the number the thinner material? So if I am correct .063 is thicker than .250? Some how that does not seem right. It looks to me like it would be just the opposite. :?: What would you folks suggest as an appropriate thickness for diamond plate decking? I will be covering an area 35.5" x 40.25" and 13.5" x 40.5". I also have some galvanized piping left over that was originally designed for a trampoline cage. I am considering repurposing it for my framing material. Good idea? Bad idea? I am quite amazed at the wealth of information to be found here and look forward to your input. Thanks! D. [/QUOTE]
