how to make deck reinforcements?

[john t]

im just wondering what size square tube u need to make it

 

[JDBen]

normally 20 x 20

and you'd probably have to cut the length right

 

[MattThomMakesMeWarmInside]

3/4 or 11/16

 

[Matthew Madera]

yeah the perfect length i believe is 20.5 in long. idn about width

 

[john t]

what about the diameter and and how thick it should be

 

[scott s]

john remeber the ones i tried to sell you well at home depot its 15 bucks and you just get 20 by 20 nand you cut it to length.

 

[john t]

o ok thx scott

 

[ayrton 420]

its 3/4 inch aluminum theres onl 1 thickness and u just put spacers in the back so it doesnt bend and bolt it all da way through

 

[Matthew Wyman]

i just got 3/4 and 48 inches long cus u need 40 inches anyways cus u need two and just drill the wholes and make the wholes on the outer tube bigger so u can screw in the bolts

make it urself its cheaper $15 at home depot

someone needs to make a thread showing how to make these

1/8" thick aluminum strips work the best
