Just wondering if I took pressure treated 2 x 4 and ripped it into strips for the stringers? Has anyone tried that?
That's probably not a good idea. Once you start cutting the PT wood, you loose the water resistant integrity.
A better way to go, that a lot of us have done is to use either cedar, or redwood, depending on what you can get the best deal on.
Personally, I use redwood, because the cedar around here is, or was at the time I made the decision, lousy.
You still have to seal it with something, so it doesn’t swell and get out of alignment during the monsoon season.
