I used treated decking - and squared it up. So, it was nominally 5/4 x5/4. Any moderately strong clear lumber would do: Mahogany, Douglas Fir, Yellow Pine (which is what treated usually is).



The boat trailered well at highway speeds with the blind in place. As the flaps were down, it's wind resistance was significantly reduced.


All the best,
