We rarely use stock templates as we have found that no two boats are the same, even from the same manufacturer. All projects are individually patterned digitally or by hand to ensure a perfect fit. When fabricating deck panels, we do not simply glue them together – each seam is individually hand-welded to ensure it will not shrink or come apart. After assembly, we spend a great deal of time on each completed panel hand finishing – just one of many reasons why a Permateek deck looks so authentic and so unlike a typical plastic deck.
