Here in Canada, we can't use pressure treated wood and maintain our "organic" status.

Are there any types of wood you would recommend as a substitution. Do you think cedar would be strong enough for this application?

It really is a labor of love, I love the end result!

I can only imagine all the gravel hauling, I'd hope to have to bring it downhill instead of uphill.

Throwing a like your way on Youtube.

I think Oak or Black Walnut might do an okay job. Maybe really thick cedar....

Thank you so much. I wish I could have worked with gravity on the gravel hauling portion!

I'd think Black Locust would be the best, unless restrictions on invasiveness would somehow apply.

Become extra-civilized!
