Alternative to ply for deck fitout

[woodsy]

I remember reading on this forum (I think) there was a mention of an alternative to ply that can be used for deck fitout. I think it was plastic and quite expensive.

I have searched high and low but cannot find the post :confused:. Can anyone remember the material name or remember the post?


Thanks,

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I think I will look into the HDPE option as it should be durable and easy to work with.
