10 ton Harvey deck over

[materthegreater]

Time for new decking. Also time to upgrade the flimsy crossmembers over the tires. I'm thinking channel laid flat will be better than the angle that's there now.

Low,strong or easy pick ONE.

I think I'd use a piece of 2 inch 1/4 wall square tube there

I'm going to need to do the deck on my tag. Look forward to seeing yours

I don't understand what you're referring to.

No tubes! Anything that can hold moisture/dirt is a big no-no. It'll hold salty dirt and rust out in no time. I need to use something that is open on one side. I have some 5" channel that should work if I lay it flat.

Sounds like a old commercial from the 70's, I'm always chasing rainbows, because I don't understand either

Fill them with fluid film. If your really concerned about that use solid stock!

 

[materthegreater]

Fluid film lasts about 10 minutes in the winter around here. I already have channel anyway

Looks like it's ready for a thinned out coat of Rust-Oleum paint.

Looks good, how did you fasten the decking ?

Trying to figure how you found the original screw holes? Drill up from frame hole with smaller bit then screw down from top?
