Hi John, I too like this idea, so I built my own. It was easy and cheap. I have photos here
http://treadmill-workstation.com. I use it as a standing desk too.
It feels great to move around a bit and not be sitting all day. I still use my desk though.
It does break it up for a few hours a day.

I wonder if the people looking for a walking treadmill have looked at http://www.treaddesk.com? Their treadmill doesn’t have arms and it seems to be specifically designed for walking stresses. I’m looking to get one myself when my home office situation settles down and all of the plaster dust is cleared up. OTOH I haven’t found any longer term reviews of it yet….

Your deck problem sounds solvable, if your willing to experiment a bit. I’d recommend a good 3/4 structural plywood covered in a high strength epoxy resin. That should give you some serious strength.
