[QUOTE="Chrisja77, post: 427369, member: 21976"] I guess my first major decision is wether to use aluminum or wood for the framing. I am MUCH more competent with wood than metal. I've been calling around and the only place I can find aluminum angle at will only sell it to me if I buy 50'...it's $1 a foot so not bad and I guess I could get a lifetime supply of 1" angle! I would bolt or rivet it since I have no way to weld aluminum. If I use wood I want to do it with 2x2 to save weight. I've seen projects in both that I like and it seems like it's really up in the air depending on who you talk to about weight and flotation benefits between the 2. I'm gonna work on researching it some more. The deck will definitely be wood, just FYI [/QUOTE]
