Build Your Own Cockpit Grate
Add a touch of tradition to your boat and build your own cockpit grate. SeaTeak® offers the finest keln-dried plantation teakwood in the world. The notched grating material comes in 3 thicknesses/cutout sizes and coorresponding flat grate strips.
You can build your grate two ways:
1) Using notched strips in both directions, or
2) Using notched strips in one direction on the bottom layer and flat strips in the other direction on the top layer. This allows water to drain underneath grates that are installed on flat surfaces. The grating "A" fits within the flat grating "A" dimensions.

Grate Combinations - Use the following combinations when building your grate:
60862 & 60875 - Excellent for icebox grating or anywhere the grate is not required to support a significant load.
60863 & 60876 - Recommended for use in showers or cockpits which have a relatively flat configuration.
60864 & 60877 - Best for use in cockpits that have a significant slope to them, or any place grating would be used that requires a great deal of support.
How Much to Order ? - Use the following guidelines to determine how much grating you should order:
60862 & 60875 - Order one strip of each type of grating for each inch of the area you are covering in both directions.
60863 & 60876 - Order one strip of each type of grating for every 1-1/2” of the area you are covering in both directions.
60864 & 60877 - Order one strip of each type of grating material for every 2” of the area you are covering in both directions.
If framing is required, consider Dimension A of framing material.
Assembly
Assembling your cockpit grate is simple. Measure, cut, glue, drill and screw. It is recommended that a waterproof glue be applied to every place the grate intersects, and that a screw be installed at every other intersection. The use of screws is especially important in the two larger sizes of grating material.
