6: Corrugated steel sheets are used for deck forming, and can be purchased in a variety of
different configurations, thickness, and dimensions. It is recommended to use steel galva-
nized sheets, 22 to 24 gauge, and 9/16 inches high. Cut the corrugation to fit tightly at the
bottom flanges of the deck coping, and overlap the adjoining sheets by three (3) feet.
Ensure all corrugation is resting on the lower flanges of the deck coping. If required, fasten
the corrugation where needed to secure it into position.
