Decking Material

If you are only going to need it for two years the plywood way would be best but if you have a lot of wet weather in your area be sure to coat all sides.

Great idea and a huge cost savings.

Pressure treated plywood should get you five years. What happens after five years? Tearing it down? Replacing? There are woods that will last 50 years.

If you are planning to move in that time a cheap deck will bring down the ptice. If you are planning to rebuild bigger and better, cheap may be good.

Grain bin drying or aeration floor? It's galvanized metal with slots. It isn't smooth so it would have an advantage during snow or ice storms. You'd probably be the only one on your block with a deck like it.

It would probably work, but I'm looking for cheap and quick. Maybe take a run by a scrap yard and see what they have.

No long term plans but want something for now that I can take apart and replace if necessary. Also kind of a test to see what happens.

Would sealing the top and sides protect large sheets, that kind of thing. I'm guessing not or others would already be doing it.

Wet weather wasn't a problem until this year and CA is trying to catch up. Raining today, but I'm inside and warm.

Have to go out later - will watch out for people who can't drive in the rain.

Thanks, but something a little more stable was what I had in mind.

I was the consigned laborer for my uncle one summer and we built a garage out of pallets. He owned a warehousing co and could get all he wanted. Back then they weren't build from crap wood or pulp. Learned about construction- so much he wanted me back next summer... for a house renovation.
