Thanks for sharing that. What brand and where did you get the deck? Looks great and those are some nice brackets!

Those SS brackets are several hundreds of dollars by themselves, much less the teak platform. that looks like $600+ worth of materials.

I am kicking myself now I had four of those brackets off an old boat of mine plus the teak and I sold it all at a yard sale for 5 bucks :eek: after having it sit around for a couple of years and no one wanting it.

Definitely a stellar deal on those then. But like I was saying, those brackets cost almost as much as the platform does because appearently welding SS triangles costs a LOT of money, lol.

Sweet, that is what Iam going to do next. Working on getting some tabs on now then the teak swim platform but may cost alittle more than yours did. Good score. Plus the link for the brackets you put is only 45min's from the house post a photo of it mounted.....
