While we were in the UK the construction gnomes came to my house and built me a little pool shed/bar combo. You can tell from the photo its not quite done yet, but there is one critical part that I need before we can continue with the project. I need a freeze proof/water proof/weather proof countertop for the new bar. I have to wire up the electrical, add some light fixtures, install the door hardware, but there is a bit more carpentry that is being held up by a lack of counter top/bar.
The counter top will be 8' long by 2' wide and will rest in the opening on the front of the shed. We get temps in the winter to Minus 20 (F) and summer temps that exceed 100 (F). We also get a fair amount of rain and snow. So that said, any sort of man made laminated material is ruled out, it simple won't stand up to outdoor weather.
Can I use "Silestone" or "Zodiac" quarts products outside . . . which would allow me to match the kitchen countertops? Or would I be best off to stick with a natural stone like granite?
