Re: new carpet...been reading posts
hey dyers
the reason people dont like carpet..is it traps water...and holds it next to the deck...thus promoting rot....but aside from that...i also like carpet in boats....
with proper storage it can last a long ...long time
the reason for glassing the deck...is to keep the water out of the deck wood...simple things like water seal dont work....
there is many types of different ideas for carpet. the choices are endless.
the 1/2 inch pt ply is also my choice.....the pt ply must be bone dry of it wont accept resin.
another choice of ply is exterior ply...it doesnt need to be dry...and once the wood is enclosed it wont matter too much......one will last 15 years...one 20....so its really a coin toss as to what you use....
search...this thread.....its in its idea stage ..but there is still very valuable information on it
