Wide boards usually cost extra, 7 in should be a happy medium. If using steel strips ala oe, plan on 3/8 between the, the bolts will go through the strips and between the boards. Use 5/16 bolts- to allow for some expansion in wet conditions. If bolting through the lumber into the frame work, allow 3/16 between boards. It would take 12 boards @ 7 in, either way.
