I saw that you are going to build using wood. Have you thought of a steel stand. Reason I say this is of course much stronger, but resistant to water damage, mold, rot, etc.... Ok you may get rust if not painted/powder coated properly, but much more resiliant.
Then you could do a nice wood cover for it.
