[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 268340, member: 6657"] 3/4" will be a stronger build, use exterior grade plywood but don't use pressure treated plywood. Seal the top and edges of your plywood with 3 or more coats of epoxy resin (best) or the same amount of exterior spar urethane (second best). Using a finish like marine vinyl, tuff coat, kiwi grip, etc instead of carpet will greatly extend the life of your decking. Carpet absorbs and retains water, the others shed it. Using petroleum based adhesives like contact cement for vinyl or carpet are much more waterproof than the latex based adhesives. [/QUOTE]
