since we have had recent activity on bed wood, i thought i would add this.

i am using plastic deck boards 'trex' brand from hd.
trex only comes in one size 6x5/4 (5.25x1 actual) solid
so i will have 9 boards instead of the usual 8 boards
also had to buy 8 metal strips, which i am painting body color

nice thing about the 5/4 thickness is i was able to fully recess the strip
so that the paint should not get scratched (ya right)
here are some pics on photobucket of the trex cut out
