Common sense will tell you what you have to do.Not being mean or sarcastic.pack everything in tight with plastic bins or hire a professional carpenter to help you build what you need in order to keep things tight.using the corect hardware such as angle irons and the right screws will give you longevity and a quality build structure.If not within 1 year it will all come loose.marine board is highly advised against rot.Good luck and be safe.
