[QUOTE="Dave11, post: 125622, member: 2524"] Do you know the what the thickness is of the aluminum brackets you are using to piece together your 2x2 frame? I would be careful about how much weight I put on those if they are an 1/8" thick or less especially on longer runs. I have a mechanical engineering background, so if are questioning how much support you need or how much deflection your deck would experience I might be able to give you some sort of estimates before you even buy or cut anything. Best bet, would be to design the supports to withstand around 500 lbs (two guys and then some) as a worst case scenario. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
