    Deck Extending

    Looking at building a deck extension for my 18' shadow. I know I can build it with plywood but was wondering what other lighter materials are out there? The are is only about 2'x4' give or take.

    Have any metal bending shops in the area. Lids are 1/8 thick. Pretty quick on a press

    Fishon Fabrication, Dawson Mion. Just built and shipped a storage box which has extended my deck as well. He's in GA. Great high quality work .I wrapped mine with SeaDek. Very satisfied.

    Guy made me one from ply wood that he treated with some type of sealent and backed the bottom with alluminum braces. The whole thing weghed 13 pounds. Looks very nice.

    gcross...would you take a couple of pics of your exension? I've seen some that Dawson did and they are great but I'm maybe wanting to do one myself and 13 lbs. would be nice too.
