[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 218975, member: 2865"] BC, I went to the local construction safety rental place and asked for old signs. They gave me a whole skid of aluminum signs. thats what I'm doing my decking with. It's just shy of 1/8" and I have allready tested it without adding any additional bracing between the ribs, it is plenty strong enough. Almost no flex. Also I tested it with no foam and I expect the foam would add a little more support. 1/8" will be plenty strong enough. Yes, you can glue carpet to it. I'm still up in the air about the adhesive I'm going to use. Id like to go with contact cement but its so permanent, I feel like that may be a bad idea if I ever have to replace carpet. May be using some 777 spray adhesive or just regular carpet glue. Check out Capri Carpet if you choose to order online. Best prices I found anywhere. I believe someone here said they were Bass Pro's carpet supplier but they sell for almost half of BPS price!! [/QUOTE]
