RE: Teak deck removal project
He said that the teak planking does add a degree of stiffness and strength to a deck and the multiple layers of fiberglass he used put this strength back.
Mostly the teak is making up a bit for the rot of the underlying ply.
We prefer a single layer of glass preferably with epoxy, epoxy grout and a layer of 1/2 or 3/4 foam of your choice. The glass is run up the house and on the railing a few inches to grab something.
Then a couple of layers of glass to be the new deck surface , and its MUCH stiffer than the old plywood ever was.
