Title: To Roof Deck or not to Roof Deck?
Post by: Darkspeed on October 20, 2015, 05:59:43 PM
I really liked being on the roof deck on Odyssey and now that I have skylights that open as hatches I keep staring at my roof like it needs some sort of light weight deck that follows the looks of the older GM bus, rounded corners? Round tubing? Polished aluminum tubing? There must be some sort of light weight tread available.. Honeycomb? Redwood?

Just found what they used > http://www.gratingpacific.com/metal_bar_gratings/aluminum_plank_grating.html (http://www.gratingpacific.com/metal_bar_gratings/aluminum_plank_grating.html)

I like the idea of following the original contours--sort of keeps the stock look.  I've been looking for an excuse to build an elevator and a roof deck would be a perfect candidate. Jack
