Good stuff. Built a "bridge" last night and it will be plenty strong enough. Just a couple of final questions.
The plywood I removed was dozens of 6"x6" pieces. Is there a reason for this, or can I replace them with 2 or 3 larger sections? I know plywood has a tendency to bow, but wouldn't adding support stringers stop that?
Also, should the supports be attached directly to the plywood and the whole thing glassed over, or glass the plywood first, then add the stingers and another layer of glass?
Sorry for the questions, but working on my back under the deck is a PITA, and I only want to do it once.
Thanks again for all the comments and advice.
