I would like to apologize to everyone regarding my comments regarding the use of four x timbers in this application. All of the bunks shown in the pictures of this thread are timbers on edge. Using a timber with its face to the hull makes a lot of sense.

Personally, I would investigate the feasibility of using pressure treated lumber and building a bomb of two x 8-10 with two by four or six ribs for backing. It is probably a question of local regulation. I would also advised not totally encapsulating the wood in Astro-turf. This would be to ensure that the wood actually dries out between dunkings.

Again my apologies to any one I may have offended.
