Thanks.
Excess 1" x 6" pressure treated decking cut to 11 1/2" held together with 8 excess stainless steel 1 3/4" decking screws. Total cost if I had to buy the material just for this project? Maybe $10.

Also have a 18K chassis and these have worked fine. And since I have a pile of cut decking ready to make more they make these also make for an excellent base to start a campfire on if the ground in the fire ring is wet. Everything other than the fire extinguisher should be a multi tasker in the coach.
