Outdoor table material?

13 years ago

We live in Minnesota and I'm looking to build a similar table with similar color. What would be a durable material for this table? Not a fan of painted wood. Tks

Concrete would be an excellent choice for a grill/bartop area. I built one 5 years ago here in Wisconsin and it has held up great.

Many tks. Do you think concrete would work for the back wall? I was think Trex decking material. Not sure how concrete would compare in cost. Nice work on your setup!

I wouldn't recommend any temperature sensitive material near a heat source such as the grill pictured, such as wood or Trex composite. A wall built with concrete board and a stucco finish would work well. If you are near my location in LaCrosse, WI I would be happy to meet with you and design/build a piece to fit your needs!
