Trailer Bunks

[fishfighter]

I am replacing the bunks on my boat trailer this weekend, i need to find four treated 2x4s that are dry, i need 2@6' and 2@10', i don't want to get them from stines cause every board that i bought from stines for my fence was wet and is now twisted and warped or split, my question is where can i get some good lumber for my boat trailer

and is it a good idea to double up the carpet on the top of the bunks?

Lumber yard in Creole. They have those sizes in 16'-20' lengths. Not sure the name but there cannot be many.

I just go to home depot or lowes and pick through the stack for straight ones. there are usually some dry ones unless they just unstrapped the bundle.

besides, they are cheap enough so I buy 12 footers and let them sit in my garage for a week to dry out even further. if they twist I return them and get another and if not I use them and cut out the straightest section for what I need.

try using Trex composite lumber. hard to find it in 2x4 size though. might try contacting a bulkhead/pier/dock contractor.
