We built the frames out of pressure treated 2x4s. We used anti-rust deck screws coated with wood glue to make it last. Then I painted the frames with two coats of high gloss white paint.
Next I stained the 1x2 slats, sanded them down and sealed them with several coats of spar urethane (which makes them water proof and very shiny! It's often used to paint wooden boats). This by far took the most time.
The slats were then attached with more deck screws.
Then we put them in place and there ya go!
