[quote user="EMPIRE II LINE"][quote user="ttrigg"] Byron:From the looks of the grain structure in this pic:[img]http://inlinethumb07.webshots.com/41478/2167355740101174370S600x600Q85.jpg[/img]I would say that Gary is using SYP (Souther Yellow Pine) which has a high degree of natural self preservation.   [/quote] Yeah Tom,That's what I thought too, and that is exactly what I used first time around, all rotted out within 3 to 4 years, now as a minimum, I won't use anything less than treated lumber in this rain and humidity we have here. That's even if I use wood at all, which is why I've used PVC and galvanized metal studding for most my support system this time.....So far so good.....3 years and counting.......BUTTTT..... I did have to have an impressive HUGE wooden trestle though....All thanks to my brother Jim....Byron C. [/quote]Anything out side should be Treated, Pine, Cypress wood. Make dang sure your wearing a mask and eyes on.If you don't like the green tint to the wood, paint it. Thinking about gettn me a battery sparyer for my paints (not my air brush pin heads!) like a wagner or who ever makes them.Toad
