Lumber for raised beds

I want to make some raised beds for gardening. I'm going to use pipe

beds. What would be a good lumber for this? I want something that is going
to last for a while, although I know nothing lasts forever.

I found using treated lumber works well it use use the trea cotta clay
inserts so the dirts does not come into contact with the wood. You
can also look at composite lumber as well. This stuff does not rot
but will color fade a little. Good luck with your boxes.
