One other thought on the 3/4 and 1/4 ply . The bunk floor is more than 4 ft. wide so it will need a splice unless you special order 5 ft wide plywood , expensive . That means you will have a 1/4" gusset by offsetting the seams . I would sooner go 1/2" and 1/2".
not sure I follow...are you saying to use 1/2'ply?
What I'm saying is if you decide to go sold wood as Cayo suggests , 3/4" + 1/4" =1" , I would use 1/2" + 1/2" = 1" to make the splice stronger . BTW , I'm pretty sure the original was 3/8" ply + 1" styrofoam + 3/8" ply , same as the floor , which would make total of 1-1/4" thick . Perhaps someone who has taken one out can confirm .
ok got it..would it be necessary to glue them together or do you think screws would be sufficient? when I removed my original the top ply was cut in half and just laid on top of the 1"x and foam which made getting out easy. I am thinking of the bottom layer of ply(actually 2 pieces cut to fit the area) screwed from the outside under the overhang. Then the top layer of ply again 2 pieces with the joint offset screwed down to the bottom ply from inside. if for some reason it has to come out it could be unscrewed. I plan on using treated ply, with a coat of some kind of sealer?....any thoughts on this?
