After the beam, the deck was pretty simple. I used 3/4 inch tongue and groove standard plywood, glued and stapled with 2 inch staples. (Thanks to Jeff for loan of the big staple gun).

| PL 400 glue on the deck boards and silicone to seal the top of the plywood layers in the beam. The 2 x 8 and 2 x 6 are treated so they will handle moisture. Note that the beam no longer continues past the wheel wells in this picture. More on this later. |

The deck is done. This picture also shows two of the ready-rod bolts I had welded to the frame. There are two in front and two in back to help hold the structure tightly to the frame. They will run through the bottom plates of the front and back walls.
Also note the handy-dandy tool and everything else shelf at the back of the tent. It was well worth the extra hour or so to build it as it would be a constant mess and hard to find things without it. |
