Outside storage for attatchments: How to keep the weeds down?

What is that implement on the far end? Can't make it out.
That's a 3-way 3-point blade I made towable. I'm no good at finish grading so now there's an axle in the rear and a long tongue up front.

Basically mimicked a road grader best I could by creating a longer distance between the tractor's rear tires and the blade.

You can see the same principle applied to the 10' box blade next to it, and the smaller box blade behind that one. They sure make my grading jobs much easier and faster.

I use pressure treated plywood, lasting 25 years now.
Plus RM43 from Tractor Supply
I wonder where you can find that? Pressure Treated Plywood!!!!!
It's non-existent here as far as I've been told by my lumber supplier?
I've wanted pressure treated plywood several times for various projects and have been told "That's not available"....yet, "Maybe it is???" Enlighten me, is it called something unique and that's why I can't get it?? Am I asking my supplier the wrong question??

The then new 2015 home near me used pressure treated plywood for exposed eve sheathing…

It’s the only time I’ve seen it applied… the builder was building his own home…

Quick Google search for "pressure treated plywood California", resulted in:

A Contractor supplied what appeared to be Medium Density Overlay 3/4-inch pressure treated plywood, as part of constructing a building on an inholding in the Frank Church Wilderness, as it was lots less expensive to bring it in for the perimeter foundation, than import concrete and the required mixing equipment.

It has been my goal to build a long loafing shed for attachments. Back up, attach or detach and be on the way. Hopefully some day.

Stuff is heavy

Thanks for that possible source ning, I'll look there "again" next time I wish I had some on hand for a quick project.
Jigs-, Thanks for your list of possible suppliers...they are not what I have in my area and not of much use for whenever I might need a sheet or 4 to do a project; I'll keep the list handy if I ever need to order a truckload!

We extensively try not to spray herbicides as we are a regenerative farm and all that crap eventually ends up in the water. I’ve read that you can use “pool salt” but be forewarned not will grow there again. BTW I have not dug into what “pool salt” contains. Best of luck

Sodium Chloride. The purer the better--For your pool's chlorine generator.

Edit: If you use it, I'd wash it in since anything metal will turn to rust on contact. Just the evaporating chlorine from it will cause metal to rust.

If you try treated plywood, make sure it's rated for ground contact.

The treated plywood sold by my local Home Depot is not so rated. It's sold mostly for decking with air circulation underneath. It lasted about 2 years and pretty much disintegrated when I tried using it as a base for storing implements.
