[QUOTE="Macrosill, post: 427683, member: 11079"] As for the aluminum framing, I plan on using standard pop rivets. I have seen some use 2, 3 or even 4 rivets per joint. How many rivets per joint are really necessary? Any aluminum framing tips? I am thinking of going with 1x1x1/8 angle. Any issue with this size angle? 1/2" plywood will be used for the decking. I am thinking of going with the same for the vertical boards as well. And probably 1/4" ply to trim out the gunwales. Any suggestion against that plan? Piano hinges for the storage lids. I was planning on carpet but now may go vinyl. Maybe a mix of vinyl for the main floor and carpet for the rest. Planning on a layout like this : [ATTACH type="full" alt="l_pro-guide-v-16-t_img151332_900.jpg"]89581._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
