Many have been in the wood business for many years and are quite helpful .
By the way, if you do manage to damage the wood feel free to contact me to remake the wood components. I'm guessing since it's from Walmart it's likely some cheap Asian wood like perhaps rubber tree wood which generally comes from rubber tree plantations after all the trunks have been tapped for the rubbery sap..
I'd go with something known to withstand the elements such as white oak or even better, tzalam. (Caribbean walnut)
It is Acacia Wood. It is a strong hardwood that is supposed to be naturally moisture resistant.
