Is that a handle hole or a future light?
Also, does the water just seep through? Is this the normal 31 procedure?

Did I understand you correctly? You made the whole deck out of Azek?

No - The previous owner made the entire lower deck from Aztek - or some starboard type rip off - Of course it cracked where it was thinner near the bulkhead

I made this one out of divinycell and around 8 layers of 1408 glass

Hole is just as a handle for the stairs

I guess I could put a light in there

Jeremy,

Nice work. I was thinking there is no way Azek would last especially if you have a couple of big people using it.
