It does have to be Tongue and Groove, and a certain type of plywood, as in not the green weather treated stuff. Also needs to be a certain thickness and stringer spacing. Should be able to get the exact specs from the Duradeck installer and lay the plywood yourself. Installer needs to putty and sand all seams/screw holes then apply glue and Duradeck. Quite honestly, laying the plywood was a pretty minor chunk of the bill once you accounted for material costs for the wood, screws etc. I think laying the plywood took maybe 2-3 hours out of a 3 day job.
