I am working on a outdoor kitchen / prep center which includes a 2x8 counter top. The countertop is covered, but in here in the pacific northwest it still tends to get damp, so I'm not even going to bother with the pre-made laminated counter tops (can you say particle board swells like a blow fish in heat).
So I'm looking for some advice on a reasonable priced countertop (can you say no stainless, no corian, no teak). I was thinking about tile... but would prefer to avoid it.. but may go back to it yet. I was also thinking about a laminate using a plywood base.
Has anyone had any experience with these for outdoor use, or can you suggest any other alternatives.
Thanks
