Li@m Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi all got a bunch of treated decking timber left over from the the deck.Just wondering if it will be strong enough, see image. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Especially if it's clad in ply that's screwed to it well enough to add strength...That's going to be nicely overbuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 I don't like how the only thing transferring weight downwards into the legs are the screws. I'd use additional pieces that sit in between the top and bottom horizontal frames to double the thickness of the legs (will also help reduce the chance of the thin timber bowing).

alanmin4304 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 If each leg has both pieces securely fixed to each other they will negate the possibility of bowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
