    I wouldnt be sure about that if they were up on edge. Laid flat I would agree.
    Pining them with rio rods is ok if you have a long enough auger bit ie $25-$30. It makes the extra sleeper that Silent suggests look cheap.

    Well I was going to use the chainsaw to cut dovetails to join the lengths together with moritse and tenon joints for the corners.

    I think I'll go with Silentc's idea of using a length of 2x3 TP as I have a length of that under the house so no extra delivery ($$$) required.
