My side patio is delaminated on the floor side and I am contemplating its removal and rebuild however I cannot find any info on how it's constructed. If its an aluminum frame topped with some wood and non-skid, it should be an easy repair. I'd just like to know before I tackle it. I can't find anything online or in the forum. Anyone have any experience with side patio repair?

I read a thread once where a rear toyhauler ramp cracked, and the owner documented the repair. Seems his Goldwing hit the ramp too hard and cracked it. There was an aluminum perimeter frame with the fiberglass exterior, 1 or so foam insulation and 1/4 inch luan plywood covered in grip tape. Nothing in the middle but the fiberglass,foam, plywood sandwich. I would expect that to be the same for your patio . His repair was to make a interior grid of aluminum tube, more foam and replacement top deck. If I can find the link I will post it for reference.

I saw that video. Creating an aluminum frame is out of my skillset. I will probably pull it apart this fall and replace the water damaged luan and the non-skid.
Thanks

What year is your rig? Did you leave it open during rain often?
