The blocks just worked straight away, I'll be adding more and these aren't glued/secured in place yet.<br /><br />When I'm sure I wont have to alter anything on the helix I'll add more blocks and glue them into place. Given our stable low humidity weather here I don't think sag in the plywood would be that much of an issue anyhow, but rest assured Alan it will be "over engineered"...

Did you decide to use blocks instead? That's a lot of run between blocks especially for blocks set alternating inside and outside as you have them. Plywood sag over time may be an issue.alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10104233231307618593noreply@blogger.com
