1--Treated pine. Leave it outdoors a month or so before painting.

2--Cypress

3--Redwood or Eastern red cedar.

Just my opinion

The most trouble free might not be wood at all, maybe something like a
compost like Trex.

Years ago I would have used Douglas Fir.
Today I'd likely use cedar. I hate PT wood for ANYTHING.

Might even be tempted to do it with vinyl and not need to paint it.

Might be a good suggestion, but I would have to ask where the poster is
located.
