Thanks, I think your ideas have merrit. I was thinking of laying 1/2 inch high strips of molding about 1" wider than the tie ends to hold the ballast, and cover the "channel" with a weed blanket material, after drilling drainage holes. I'm going to use all treated lumber for this initial benchwork, and may use treated 1X4's rather than plywood and use your system. My "tabletop" will be on 24' centers so I don't think sagging will be a problem.
