[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 409651, member: 6657"] I'm a big fan of the kiln dried CCA pressure treated marine grade plywood. The Chromated Copper Arsenate treated plywood won't corrode aluminum like the ASQ treated will. The CCA plywood comes with a lifetime warranty and won't rot even if it gets wet, but I still seal it with 4 coats of marine grade epoxy resin. Wet plywood is very heavy and takes forever to dry out IF it ever dries out. You can use regular exterior grade plywood, and I strongly suggest using a marine grade epoxy resin to seal it with. Urethanes aren't that durable or long lasting... but the marine grade epoxy resin hardens the surface of the plywood and is like a sheet of Lexan on top of your decking. Another real good grade of plywood is MDO (medium density overlay), MDO is what they make exterior signs with and is used in concrete form work for construction because of it's durability and water resistance.
