[QUOTE="krawler, post: 305893, member: 5928"] Basically, you want to stay away from treated wood whether it's plywood or boards. You can treat the wood yourself with epoxy or spar to help waterproof it. For fasteners, use stainless or aluminum. Framing is best done with aluminum angle, but some use wood, and either aluminum rivets or stainless screws and/or some combination of the two. The best sealers/adhesive would be 3m 5200 or 3m 4200. 3m 5200 is a slow cure, permanent adhesive and 3m 4200 is a fast cure semi-permanent adhesive. Both can be used above or below the waterline. Another question that might come up is whether to use carpet or not. An alternative would be to use a roll-on truck bed liner like Grizzly grip or Herculiner, etc. [/QUOTE]
