The real problem I see with the toggle bolts you show is they appear to
spread the load out onto the two edges of the plate that ends up under the deck. This is not a flat bearing surface, and concentrates the load on two relatively thin edges. This is not a good idea on a laminate surface, as it will easily crush the laminate, even if you've reinforced it with thickened, high-density filler, epoxy. The load really needs to be spread out over a large surface area when working with laminates. The toggle bolts can't do thisÑthe concentrate the loading stresses onto an area smaller than that of a proper backing washer... |
