Cockpit Grating - non-Teak Favorite?
Atlantic white cedar is first choice. Northern white cedar second. Cypress
is OK, but gets heavy. White pine might last a while. If teak strips are thin (no more than 1/4"), the cost of all materials is under $10/ft^2, half the materials cost of a teak grating. My love of cockpit gratings ended when I dumped the bowl of dip. They're very hard to clean. "ashore" wrote in message ups.com... Subject says it all.
