Hi all
I hope someone can give me some help.
We have a sundeck over our carport.
We replaced the plywood subfloor and are going to hire contractor to lay
rolls of vinyl.
But we are confused about thickness, so many different opinions from
contractors.
40 mil, 55 mil, 60 mil.
Also fabric backed verus plastic backed.
Can anyone give us their experience.
Also does it tear easily from patio furniture?
And does the plywood have to be bone dry for them to lay it?
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Vinyal outside? exposed to the sun and weather... Sounds like an accident
waiting to happen. Is the product even rated to be outside?
Thicker would be better in my mind. Fabric backing and water
sounds......... dumb.
If you have metal furnature then there is always a risk of injuring the
floor.
You could put the plastic sliders on the feet of the furnature. Again I do
not know if they will hold up to the elements.
