[Rhodes22-list] Bunk

[Peter Thorn]

Lou,

I know you want to "do it right once", so get clear #1 (no knots) Pressure
Treated Southern Yellow Pine (PTSYP) for the bunks (2x6).  It's the
strongest softwood and will spread the load much better than the white Larch
Michael used on my 2003 Triad.

Stan suggested cantilevering the new bunks 12" fore and aft past the steel
support posts.  It's a good idea and worked very well.
