I thought that with aluminum it would be quite strong if I drilled from underneath - the fasteners should really only be required until the bedding compound sets. Any thoughts? Thanks Rogermac I wouldn't drill holes in your deck. I would glue marine grade ply wood to the deck and then screw the teak deck to the ply wood. This is the method used on large yachts. |
