Hi Dan.

As for cost, basically you're swapping a sheet of 4MM plywood for about 25 cedar strips with Glass on both sides (12 yds 6 oz 60") you're also going to use more epoxy. I would figure about an extra 250 - 300 Canadian Dollars (170 - 210 US) to do a strip deck compared to a plywood deck. The Strip deck would be stronger that the ply deck. Construction time would also be increased.

Good luck on your decisions.
