[QUOTE="ober51, post: 98945, member: 1354"] As you know aluminum outlasts it all, but may corrode. Pressure treated wood is not to be used since there are trace amounts of metal in the wood that will corrode with aluminum over time (not ever time, but likely down the road). The guys you see on this site (myself included) are using regular wood but with a quality water sealer - went with Thompson's and Behr's myself. It is cheaper than PT wood and lighter too. Should last a while if you do it right. Then there is marine wood, but that's too rich for my blood. [/QUOTE]
