As for the lumber, have you considered 3/4" plywood ripped into the size you need? Alot of folks recommend that instead of the dimensional lumber because it is more stable and less prone to warping. I did this myself too. And, it may come out cheaper than the regular boards.
Ive often thought about using 3/4" Oak ply instead of using dimensional lumber, but have never given it a shot. Maybe its time for that LOL. I could probably get everything I need out of a single 4x8... i think a 1/4" ply ontop would be plenty, as I will be laying a layer of 1" foam down. A nice Masonite Facia to hide it all would be great as well
