Reply:trex decking, home depot or lowes.. the decking material is tuff as nails , but isnt too structural, it needs to be supported good from underneath..Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most...I know just enough about everything to be dangerous......You cant cure stupid..only kill it...

Reply:If that is Trex decking it must either be thicker than 1 X or on extremely close centering. Just for a regular patio deck, I felt one foot centers was about as far as I wanted to trust Trex due to its flex. Also, and it may have been 1st generation Trex (if there is a later generation?), but the Trex did NOT handle fasteners all that well...the decking screws would drive all the way through the Trex if given the opportunity.Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.
Reply:There are makers of rubber planks. They're made for stock trailers. This is the first time I've ever seen it on a flat bed.  I don't know the name of the manufacturer but there's one in Oklahoma somewhere. I do know I got a notice a while back from Redneck that they handled it now. Ok. Just checked and it looks like Rumber is the one that Redneck handles. I does need a maximum of 12" spacing for the supports.Last edited by irish fixit; 05-01-2015 at 02:22 PM.Millermatic 252XMT 304'sDynasty 280DXHypertherm PowerMax 1250Miller Trailblazer 302 EFIOptima PulserXR feeder and XR Edge gun and more athttp://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook/index.htm
Reply:To find out if its Trex decking.1 - Take off Boots, (Leave on socks)2 - Walk over the decking. Drag your feet a little...3 - Touch your wife on the back of the neck with your pointer finger.If you give her a zap with Static its probably Trex.  Some Blue , Some Red & Some GreyProverbs 16:2-3.2 "All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord. 3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."

Reply:Originally Posted by welderjYou and the other guy have it right, it rumber. I won't be using it tho since it calls for crossmembers at 9-12". With the extra members and the higher cost of the planks I can redo a wood floor a couple times. That should give me 30 years or more of life which is probly longer that the rubber would last, or me.
