[QUOTE="russ010, post: 74566, member: 677"] do you mean using the decking boards as the floor? You really don't want to use PT wood, for the fact that it has copper in it which will corrode the aluminum. I really think you would be better off with plywood... less stress on the wood since the weight will be dispersed proportionally while standing on it. I think the 1x6 will give a little too much.. and if you leave spacing in between, that's just enough room to lose a lot of little hooks, things getting caught etc. If you do decide to use them, be sure to paint/stain them well... this will slow down the corrosion, but it won't stop it.
