What I used:
2x8s
2x4s
5/4 in. x 6 in deck boards
2.5 inch screws
Paint
If I were to do this again (and buy the material) I would use lighter wood. All of those pressure treated 2x8s added up and my end result was very heavy. Not a big issue, since they won't be moved very often, but definitely something to keep in mind. Again, because I used all materials leftover from our deck and didn't want to spend any additional money, I just went with it.
Have a question about this project?
Is ok to change other type woods ?
Sure! Pressure treated is ideal for outdoors because its treated to withstand conditions where untreated wood may rot (basically, it holds up to the elements better). Doesn’t mean you CANT use other wood- just may not stand the test of time as well, especially if left uncovered outdoors. If you have a covered porch or something though, non-pressure treated wood would be fine!
