[QUOTE="spinfisher, post: 114848, member: 1944"] :) I wouldn't use treated lumber unless it is for the bunk boards, The green chemical is Copper green and is not healthy if you get a sliver or are cutting it, sure as hell don't burn it! I use cabinet grade ply for my decking, It uses exterior glue and has fewer voids than ext ply and it could be made to look nice. As far as your sealer, that is up to how much you use it and if you store it outside, My boat is covered so I just grabbed a can of Polyurethane I had from a previous project. The one thing you wnat tod is to make sure you cover all the wood, the edges are most important to seal. Most people cover the surface whee they walk or what might be exoposed, but most of your water intrusion is where you don't see it! Good luck, Spin [/QUOTE]
