[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 441614, member: 15636"] I'd have zero reservations about using a good quality piece of white cedar ... not red cedar. This particular wood species is nearly as strong as oak and has superior qualities of being naturally resistant to water, decay and bugs. I'd coat it with a good UV sealant, like Sun Frog. FWIW we have a few benches made from white cedar out on our docks 24/7 every year from May through the end of OCT and we don't even seal them (due to the saltwater air) ... and they're still as strong as new for > 10-years use. Not sure it would be cheaper than good plywood though ... [/QUOTE]
