I need your help. I've been trying all day to build a lip that actually works, and stays together. I've been trying to get creative with things like logs, but nothing is working. Any ideas?

the only downside is it becomes weak after constant exposure to water.

i used old 2 by 4s and made a take off one time, used skids another time (actually what im doing now), used old failed attempts for boxes. all of those scenarios i put particle board (the cheap boards made out of wood chips) on top of everything for a smooth take off.

use anything thats sturdy and will hold together, but logs probably wont work unless you nail them together
