We have a covered porch that we use a lot. Right now it has plywood for a floor and it has been sanded clean ans stained but that only lasts a couple years. This spring, early summer I have to tear it up for a different problem that has been brewing for 30+ years.

I can't find any flooring that would be fine for outdoors? Its a covered porch, but when it rains/snows it gets wet.

Any ideas? It can't be slick, I don't need to fall on my A$$

It might be a bigger undertaking than just putting on a new "surface", but I love my trex decking. Mine is a different brand than trex, but it's awesome. Not slippery at all. I have eleven 10"x10" fiberglass columns sitting on mine and they hold up a header that holds the tails of my trusses and they don't show any warping or movement, so they are pretty durable. I believe Ziggys sells the same brand as what I have and it's pretty reasonable (or at least it was a year and a half ago).

If you are tearing it all up anyway, it might be an option.

How thick is that stuff? I have about 1" of thickness I can work with, unless I do some major work to the structure. You want to come down and help?

I just happen to have a chunk of it here and it's 1 3/16"x 5 1/2". I'd come down and help, but it snows too much where you live.

Are you saying that Spokane has more than Republic? AHHHHH!!!! What a mess here.

Thanks for the dimension. I think that might work very well. It is a little over, but I can fake it I think.

Thanks!

I was just out at the supply store where I bought it from and he said the brand is "Moisture Sheild" and it is the same stuff Ziggys carries. He said he's got it for $1.99/foot, but he just bought a bunch of it and it's 5" wide now, not 5 1/2" and it's in 16' lengths. He said he'd be glad to come down and put it in for you for a small fee.
You know, we usually get more snow than you do, but it sounds like you guys have more than we do. We have about 20" on the ground right now and it hit 45 degrees today, so it's a mess. Here's a shot of the scrap steel pile on the side of my dad's shop, under a huge carport. I took this shot this morning when I went out there to use the sand blaster. It's never leaked in 14 years.
