Honestly I would stay clear of the wood setups. There is so much care to doing wood. however if you choose to please consider some advice.

when you set the board together use a rachetting clamp to hold them as tightly together as possible and then glue or screw them together with another board across the back. I was suggest you use a waterproof wood glue and screws. This will give you the best water proofing on bare wood. DO NOT use treated wood. Many brands use arsenic and other chemicals in the treating process. Arsenic is the blue color powder or crust that forms on treated wood. Once you have it together, the way you want, cut out you filter/heater line holes.

I would treat the would with a primer (like Kiltz). Roll on the liner and let it set. You'll find that stuff is strong and durable.

I've got some good size crocs and they have no trouble getting around on the stuff.
