I know this may sound crazy and probably would not work but has anyone ever you schedule 40 PVC for framing a deck? It may be crazy and never work but if used correctly it could withstand a significant amount of weight and is lightweight.

Anyone?
 
I think it may be possible, but would take some careful engineering. When I was a kid I built a jon boat out of pvc and canvas for a boyscout project. I think by the time you spent the money on the tees and 90's it would take...you might as well have used aluminum. Just a thought....if you do use pvc take lotsa pics and let us know how it works.
 
how cold is cold to where it would turn brittle, ice fishing cold, or what??
