[QUOTE="salexander, post: 37487, member: 615"] OK - those are some pretty good ideas. I like the Tounge and Groove idea - but try this for a second - The one thing that has been holding me back from making the deck so far was because I was told that plywood other than Marine grade will rot in a year or two. I have been told I could use cheaper plywood and seal it as you suggested - but I was told to seal all sides EXCEPT for the bottom. The reason for this would be to let whatever moisture that is in the wood when you install it dry out. So you would seal the top and sides, and any moisutre that gets in could evap. out of the bottom. Just a thought though. If you have had good luck sealing the whole thing - then I guess it would not matter what kind of wood I bought, just cheap T&G would work! Let me know your thoughts on this. Also - how far apart was the spacing on your joists for the T&G flooring? What kind of glue did you use? Does it need to be waterproof? [/QUOTE]
