Thought I would try some fake teak decking on Meraki. You can get EVA teak foam decking in different colours and for a good price. It is also easy to install! I got this off amazon.

Looks really good. Next time you need to mark a circle or semicircle don’t forget about pencil and string trick. I love the router idea for a smooth cut, but would probably put another 1-2 coats of epoxy on the edges including the beveled edge of the fake teak. Could help keep the teak from pulling up on the edges and also help seal the ply from water intrusion.
