Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

As you can see from my other thread I'm a novice. As you can also see from that, I never did it! I need to create the following, and I have tomorrow morning to do it in. Please could you advise what kind of wood/lengths/etc you would use in this situation? NOT TO SCALE . Audience enter...

I was just worrying about the trip hazard to be honest. Both of those ideas sound like they'll work, one is cheaper and one is easier, not sure which to go for, but I will update you. Thanks again to everyone for the help.
