I think I am going to price out the steel first thing tomorrow morning... Teak is beautiful hard wood but, around here is abot $35.00 per foot! I might have to go through a lumber yard or wood supplier for the bed planks since they need to be 116" long... Fastenal could be an option for shipping, but I can see how that would be hard to arrange...
Paul, you mentioned two local sawmills by you besides Wall Lumber... Do you have the info by chance? I will email Wall Lumber for a quote on the planks and see if they would ship to a Fastenal Location by me... Thank you.
