Deck Reinforcement

Postby RayAR3 » Thu Sep 01, 2005 12:48 am

Maybe I've gained a few pounds, but the foredeck doesn't seem to like me walking on it as much as it used to! I'm thinking about somehow reinforcing the deck from underneath.

Not sure how to go about this. Possibly hardwood runners fiberglassed in place running from left to right (or port to starboard)?

I cringe each time I'm up there and I hear the deck creak, and I'm worried that those little cracks will lead to moisture and soft spots.

Any suggestions are welcome!
