Thank you again Walt for your response. MN has great temperature variations but is not exposed to hurricane force winds which tend to uplift any flat, open horizontal surfaces. The safest construction for outdoor railroading in Florida is solid, closed under decking built directly to the ground with the layout constructed directly to the decking. There are no "open" areas underneath for high velocity winds to undermine the "deck" and the layout is elevated enough that damage from flooding is minimized. Granted the full force of a category 4 or 5 hurricane will leave little to discuss here. <br /> <br />Again, it is the unsightly view of the "privacy fence" that prompted me to build a diversion to it in the first place. If it weren't for the unique weather problems [high winds and heavy rain] in the Tampa Bay area, I'm sure the "floating" framework concept would be very stable. One good thing, I don't need to worry about "frost heaving" in this neck of the woods. Happy railroading Walt. Thanks again.
