[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 187749, member: 10"] There have been a number of threads delving into this topic in detail - try the search feature and you should find them Basically, the consensus is: WOOD: Pro: Cheap, easy to work with Con: Can and will rot, not as strong, sightly heavier in most application (given that you have to use more wood), requires good sealing and painting Alum: Pro: Stronger per lb foot of material, does not rot, lighter Con: More expensive, harder to work with I am sure there are members who can give you more specifics [/QUOTE]
