[QUOTE="gumbo860, post: 274609, member: 9313"] Yes, the wood is better than nothing. And that wood you have sitting outside in the elements is absolutely warping... It's just not bolted to anything or screwed down so you can't tell when it is warped or twisted and it can return to shape once dried out or what not. It's like a deck board, if it is not sealed it will start to warp and curl and since a deck board is held down by screws to be flat it is very obvious when you stub your toe to see what has happened. If you don't think untreated lumber is effected by the elements aside from discoloring then I don't know what to tell ya. What you've done will serve its purpose for a time... Whose to say how long. It's simply not the logical way to do it for a long term solution. [/QUOTE]
