Boat Forum / Building / May 2007Cockpit Grating - non-Teak Favorite?
Subject says it all. Cost and rot-resistance are the key characteristics for a DIY grating, I suppose. What are yr favorite east coast woods here? -AS Atlantic white cedar is first choice. Northern white cedar second. Cypress is OK, but gets heavy. White pine might last a while. If teak strips are thin (no more than 1/4"), the cost of all materials is under $10/ft^2, half the materials cost of a teak grating. My love of cockpit gratings ended when I dumped the bowl of dip. They're very hard to clean. > Subject says it all. Cost and rot-resistance are the key > characteristics for a DIY grating, I suppose. What are yr favorite > east coast woods here? > > -AS |
