Composite dimensional lumber for deck sleepers

Jun 23, 2006 0 Replies

I want to install a composite deck (probably EON) over an EPDM substrate.



Since puncturing the surface is out of the question, I plan to glue sleepers to an EPDM pad which in turn gets glued to the EPDM surface with rubber-to-rubber adhesive.



I've seen Wolmanized lumber used for sleepers, but I don't trust it not to warp and twist unless seriously screwed down, which can't be done here.



So I'm thinking - why not a composite dimensional 2x, since it should be dimensionally stable enough to glue down and stay put.



Is there a composite that I can use for sleepers to screw deck boards onto?
