Well I had 1/2" plywood wasn't happy with it, too flimsy. Felt like
I was going to
fall through. So I just set another piece of 1/2" plywood or press
board on top.
That helped by I still didn't like it, and I wasn't covering as much
of the area as
I wanted.
So in March the wife and I pulled all the junk out of the attic, then
started removing
some of the old decking and replacing it with 3/4" plywood. Turned
out pretty nice.
Now all we have to do is go through all the junk we took out of the
attic, and throw
a bunch of it away. What's left goes back into the attic. But that
will have to wait until
it cools off.
