[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 14780, member: 8"] Re: DIY mini-stage/riser/platform Look into using LVL lumber: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_veneer_lumber[/url] I sort of think of it as construction style Baltic Birch plywood. Using 1.5''x3.5'' as direct replacements for 2x4's should produce a stronger more consistent deck that won't be susceptible to twisting or warping nearly as much. The Weyrhauser Microlam LVL is available in 3/4'' thickness and greater too. I suspect you could build a deck framed and braced in say something like 4-5'' wide 3/4'' Microlam and plywood decking, have it all shot in-you guessed it, Line-X truck bed liner, and have a pretty robust riser.
