Kickers??

I am planning to build a kicker but unless i buy the treated plywood for the sides the wood will fall apart in the water. The plans from this site say to use 3/4 in plywood for the sides. I could water seal it and/or paint it so it would last longer but there has to be a better way! I dont know what to use that would be cheaper than 3/4 in treated plywood. I am trying to save money but build a nice kicker. If you have any suggestions please reply! Thanks

none of you have any ideas on what materials to use or what to do to the plywood to waterproof it? I need some ideas!

you might try buying regular plywood and use a really good wood primer like kilz or something. just make sure it's sealed good.

don't use treated wood, it is a waste of money. The water will get to it long before the bugs will. I never paint my kickers, and they seem to work fine. By the time your first one is totally rotted, you will be ready to build another.
