[QUOTE="62lonestar, post: 420729, member: 18729"] You definitely need to coat the wood with something such as spar varnish. If you don't the wood will rot out eventually(who knows how long) but will immediately absorb water making it heavier than it already is. I would even do your framing but at minimum I would definitely do the decks. For under the deck you should just put a piece of scrap carpet instead of the rubber mat. I think it will do the same thing you are hoping the the mats will do with prolly half the weight. [/QUOTE]
