Teakdecking
I am considering replacing a painted deck with a product called Teakdecking out
of Florida. A pattern is made of the deck then sent to Teakdecking to create teak panels for installation. The panels are expoxied to the deck and vacuum bag. No mechanical fastners are used. It is going over a solid deck, weighs less than a handlaid teak deck and has no screws going into the deck. Does anyone have any experience with this particular product. I have also looked at a product called Flexiteek which isn't teak at all but a composite material that looks exactly like teak. Ray Cullum S/V Frolic |

Hi Ray,
I'm interested this product. Do you have a website? Pricing? I checked out Flexiteak and it was $11k just for the materials. Doug s/v Callista "Ray Cullum" wrote in message ...

From: "Doug Dotson" I'm interested this product. Do you have a website? Pricing? I checked out Flexiteak and it was $11k just for the materials. http://teakdecking.com/ TDS (Teak Decking Systems) is located right here in Sarasota where I live. The last time I got a quote from them it was $110 a square foot for them to replace an existing teak deck. And, as I recall, not much cheaper if I removed the old decking myself. Price wise your best bets are either removing the old teak and glassing over and then nonskiding. Or Rhino coating over the old teak deck. Capt. Bill |

Ouch! My plan is to just fill the screw holes, fix any damaged core,
sand, paint and non-skid. I've already gotten all the wood off last fall. Just waitin the weather to warm up a bit now. Doug s/v Callista "LaBomba182" wrote in message ...

It's not a good site but here it is. http://www.teakdecking.com/ Did you have
an opinion on Flexiteek? I understand Teakdecking will be even more expensive. Good luck, Ray |

I can't see any reason to lay down more glass except in some
small areas where some lifted off when the wood was removed. The way my boat was built was such that the buyer could choose between a wood deck or painted/nonskid deck when the boat was ordered. Under the wood is a very substantial deck complete with gelcoat. If it wasn't for several areas of questional core and damaged gelcoat, all I would have to do is fill the screw holes and paint.

Go for the environmentally sound option, a teak tree will take about 300 years to grow and about 30 years to be destroyed on your decks. Personally I think they look much nicer growing. And they provide oxygen while doing so which can be quite handy if you like to breathe.. fragged "Ray Cullum" wrote in message ...

Much of the teak used these days is farm grown and not even close to 30 years old let alone 300.

Well, a teak tree is a renewable resource. Synthetic decking like Tek-Dek is
made from petroleum products. Now which one would the environmentalists have us choose? Kinda like: What do you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? -- Keith __ When in doubt, stay out to sea. No one has ever gone aground on a wave. "DSK" wrote in message ...

Kinda like: What do you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? Much like many sail boaters who spout off about how much more environmentally friendly a sail boat is compared to a power boat while ignoring their teak decks, teak interior, nylon sails, Freon charged aircon/fridge, gelcoated or urethane painted hull, synthetic lines, diesel engine/genset, lead acid batteries, gas powered outboard, Hypalon tender, etc., etc... And yes, I sail. :-) Capt. Bill |
