Well I had 1/2" plywood wasn't happy with it, too flimsy. Felt like I was going to fall through. So I just set another piece of 1/2" plywood or press board on top. That helped by I still didn't like it, and I wasn't covering as much of the area as
I wanted.

So in March the wife and I pulled all the junk out of the attic, then started removing some of the old decking and replacing it with 3/4" plywood. Turned out pretty nice. Now all we have to do is go through all the junk we took out of the attic, and throw a bunch of it away. What's left goes back into the attic. But that will have to wait until
it cools off.
