[QUOTE="russ010, post: 104665, member: 677"] 3/4" will work just fine, especially since it will be laying directly on top of the ribs. I really wouldn't worry with putting any bracing underneath it. In my 1232 at my parents, I just put a carpeted floor in that covered the middle section. I attached it to the ribs with self tapping lag screws. It won't take but 4 on each side, don't worry about the middle, there should be another brace running there too (I can't see pics of it since I'm at work - they block images a lot here). Just be sure to put a few coats of exterior paint or wood sealer (I like deck paint better than sealer, but that's just me). Then put your carpet on and attach it to the ribs... then go fishing and show us what you catch! [/QUOTE]
