Re: Blind project
I would use the composite decking with just enough gap to drain. I know it's expensive but it shouldn't be that bad for the area that you are covering. You can get it in dark color and won't even need to coat or paint.
Re: Blind project
Foam came in this week and I went and got all the lumber.
Got to foam the pontoons yesterday. This stuff is cool. Surprisingly, there was already block foam in the toons. So I only used 1/2 of what I bought to fill in all the voids.
pop riveted the aluminum flashing on top of the holes, with silicone under and around it to prevent any water getting in the top. I got about 5 rows of deck boards down before it got dark.
It's coming along.

Re: Blind project
Looking good! You may already know about this stuff or not even need it, but PL Premium was some pretty awesome adhesive and sealant for my little boat project.
Re: Blind project
Got to put a few boards on today. Other than that, not much progress.

Re: Blind project
Ran out of 2x4s, and deciding just how I want to leave the shooting openings (four 3ft spots, or two 6ft). But you get the basic idea.

Re: Blind project
Thanks for sharing the pictures and progress with us. Hope it makes for a great story telling place come duck season, looks like it'll do just fine.
I am interested in purchasing duck calls that were made by Mike McLemore. I am a family member and they have a sentimental value.
Re: Blind project
Cool stuff!!! I learned this weekend that the middle of the summer isn't the best time to take on big projects
