All finished.Hopefully, I'll be able to undertake the simple mod this weekend. I had considered the TPM Plastics linked earlier. But they wanted $28 just to ship four blocks of the plastic in addition to the $15 charge. Not extravagant of a cost, just seemed wrong to spend double in shipping to ship. So I was clued into a different direction when another poster had to go to Lowe's to get a different blade to cut the plastic they were using. So I went to Lowe's just to see what I could repurpose and they have composite (PVC) decking. They offer free samples of TimberTech that are 1" thick 4"x5". The associate at the Pro Sales counter gave me one, but referred me to the TimberTech website for additional samples. TimberTech will send up to 4 samples free of charge w/ free shipping. Their samples are larger than the one given at Lowe's. I chose the darkest finishes (Dark Hickory seems like the darkest).
I should have bought the bolts from Amazon that was linked earlier from the get go. I figured I could find them locally. But apparently 45mm is rarer than hen's teeth. Ended up ordering the bolts leaving the unfinished project in clamps until they were delivered.
I ended up using the free sample from TimberTech. Dark Hickory from the Vintage Collection seemed to have the darkest finish. What you see is the underside of the deck board. The Vintage Collection is exactly 1" thick.
