Same here wooden ones are rotting after only a few years and that was after steeping them in creosote for a few days first ! All made with soft wood ? .

Looking for something sturdy but light .

I have 3 sputniks which I replace the floors every year, in the spring. 1" chipboard. Not expensive and makes a fresh job of it.

Before painting, put a beed of silicone around the edge, rub it in, when dry, paint it. The cut edges are where the water/moisture soaks in, causing the wood to rot.
