Correction we use 5/32" rivets. That was a typo on my part.
We use pop rivets normally, but I may try solid rivets this year just to see how well they hold, and I have a bunch of Inconel rivets left over from a project at work so why not.
Also we use the large head diameter so they wont tear out as easily. I occurred to me that I didn't see anyone mention whether they used standard or large head rivets.
