Another told me to use 6x6's to build the entire thing, using rebar to stake the base layer into the ground and attach the rest with spikes.
Youtube doesn't have a whole lot of examples of what I'm trying to accomplish, so if anybody has any knowledge of this please let me know.
Thank you for the help!
