[QUOTE="tsrtinboats, post: 117642, member: 2364"] Hello, I've read several posts where the person claims that supports for their decking are rock solid after being rivited together. I've tried riveting some supports together but I always seem to have some amount of play at each joint. Is normal or am I doing something wrong. I've never riveted anything in my life before today. I am using 3/16 aluminum angle bars with 3/16 "long" rivets. I don't plan on building my supports out of aluminum this thick but it's all I had available to start testing some ideas. Would aluminum that's thinner make a much tighter bond than what I am getting now? Thanks [/QUOTE]
