mitiempo, thanks for the article. Great info there.

JanetGroene, great point. I'll be on the lookout. My entire deck is solid fiberglass so I think that will be beneficial to me, but I'm not exactly sure how strong it will be against rot, I imagine more so than woodcore or similar construction. Guess I'll find out.

Another good tip, thanks sailormon.

Love these forums. I'll try to photograph and document the project in a post when I complete it. Hopefully will be able to start and finish before the end of April. Thanks again everyone.
