how to reinforce

[nfumara1]

what are the demensions of the reinforcement rods to reinforce decks. and what size should the bolts be?

 

[Matt]

the metal square tubes are 20 inches long and .75 by .125

And I'm not sure about the bolts

 

[Steezeman]

Just go to your hardware store and see what sits flush with the deck, then figure out what bolts are long enough. If you're using a pro you can use the four bolts on the front and the rear axle (if you're doing flat bar reinforcements) and maybe another axle drilled through the middle.

Also, don't make two threads again and search when you want to know something.

I used 15x15mm square aluminum tubing. It fits perfectly in between those little edges on de outer side of the deck. Superclean looking too!
