Used the cedar 2x6s. Light coating on the tops of CedarTreat. Covered with new bunker carpet (couldn't find a blue roll to match the decals- used black). Left the bottoms exposed. Staples only, no adhesive, to make repairs/ replacement easier. Installed a secondary short set to spread the weight too.
Should last a few years... We'll see.
Thanks everyone.
What a great forum.
