We use 1 1/4" elm rough cut, but we seem to be among the few who can still find elm. In the 50s the third addition to our barn (30X80) was built entirely of elm. Can't scratch it with a knife.

Stay away from pressure treated. It's mostly grown in plantations now and grown as quickly as possible so there are often only 5 or 6 growth rings in a 2x6, no texture at all. I've snapped PT pine 6x6s in half just dropping one end on the ground from waist-high.
