[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 481185, member: 12995"] I wouldn't go with pressure treated, it can react with the trailer metal if it drips on it. The wood needs to air dry so even coating them with a sealer will actually trap moisture inside which will rot it out faster. We stained my cousin's dock a couple of years ago and those planks rotted out so much faster because it actually trapped the moisture. We'll never do that again. I went with plain old 2x4's with vinyl gutters cut in half when I redid mine a couple of years ago. I know you said you have the bunk wrap and that works fine as well, it's not as thick as the gutters though. [ATTACH type="full" alt="gutter_bunk3.jpg"]108635._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
