I'm at the point where the 4x4 cross members are set on top of the long timbers on the wagon that I'm rebuilding. It's probably stronger than it needs to be, but I copied the deck that I took of it...
I will probably rebuild the deck with a combination of 2x10 and 2x8 boards at 15 foot length. The wagon timbers got trimmed down a bit since 6 inches of rot got cut off each end. Plan to used pressure treated but not sure it that is too slippery? Any thoughts on that? I've found no rough cut timber available.
Also, what is the best way to make a rub rail? I was told to add one but I also like the idea of a 1x3 or 1x4 around the outer deck to keep feet from slipping off and to feel for an edge with your boot. I don't think that will affect stacking hay/straw to the edge much.
What type of bolts/screws to attach? the deck? I'm thinking 3" screws.....
thanks in advance. I just want to do it right so I don't have to re-do my efforts.
