Looking for advice on how to deck to the wagon. Seems like there are two ways to do it, either with long boards running the length from front to back laid on 4x4's over beams, or going across the deck with planks laid right atop the beams. That way seems a little easier, but do you get any drooping of the boards off the sides that way? Seems like most I've seen use a 2x4 for the edge, one on top and one on bottom of deck edge sides.
I was going to use two 2x8's for beams, but I'm starting to think maybe I should go 2x10 for more clearance over the tires? Or is that too tall? The uprights off the frame are 6 3/4" tall. It's John Deere running gear, painted red. Going to see light usage, 1500 bales/year and not stacked too high, probably just 4 or 5 high with another in the middle.
