Thank you!

Finally got it done. Just used angle with ACQ rated self tapping screws.

Ken, the fasteners I linked at the beginning of the thread are the ones I'm using. The are designed to work with acm.

I picked up some angle. I'm going to angle each end and fasten them through the wood with some of the self tappers I linked before. If I start to see warping in the middle I will screw a board across from the bottom. Thanks for the input everyone!

Awesome! That's what I want to hear! Any reason you re-drilled the holes?

Cheapest route I have so far is (11) 2x8x16's cutting 2 ft off then using that for the dove tail. I had a buddy that lives in another state quote me on some lumber. I'm hoping Lowe's or HD will match.

That's good to know. If I went the angle rout I just planned on putting a couple of stitch welds down to hold the angle in place after the boards were laid down and just cut them out to remove. Seems so much easier and less time consuming than fasteners.

I'm just wondering if I can get away with no fasteners, or at worst just a row of them in one of the middle cross members. I just don't know if the wood would warp like crazy. Plan on using 2x8 PT yellow pine.

I picked up a 16ft dove trailer that I am refurbishing and part of that being replacing the deck. It was fastened originally with self tapping screws on the ends and the middle of the deck. The middle screws almost all broke off removing from corrosion. The dove tail the wood was secured with...

I would think soon. Either Memorial Day, Father's Day, or July 4th.

LOL thanks just ordered my 5th. Had $10 off 30 and $2.00 in points so it was only $77. :beer:

Electrolysis. Just need a bucket, water, electrolyte, sacrificial metal and a trickle charger. Look it up on you tube. Best way to completely remove rust.

Them sending you home to order is a d*** manager. The associate (who was rude) checking me out said he had to check and asked a manager that rang me up the last time I bought them. He asked "Do we price match this online" and the manager told him "if you want to sell it you do!" Kinda made me...

Bump. On sale again for $99! Picked up another one yesterday.
