Outdoor bar

Hello,
Iam building an outdoor bar on my deck. I will be using marine plywood
for the top and sides and presssure treated lumber for the structure.
Should I watch out for anything? Would it be better for me to attach
backer board on top of the plywood and then tile it instead of
staining? Please advise.

Appreciate your help

Thanks!
Sunder

Marine plywood may be excessive. A good A/C with exterior glue should work
fine.
I built one with T-111 20 years ago and it is still doing fine. It isn't
directly in the rain but it still gets wet when the wind blows. I sealed all of
the wood with several coats of poly/stain after it was cut and before I screwed
it together.

oooh! Don't forget the homemade Tiki for ambience!

Reminds me, I think it's time to check on the JOAT Oil Treatment Tiki
again...

hmmm... don't see the Tiki there, but it sure looks like a fun place
to hang out.

That was an obscure reference to a little experiment JOAT did a couple
years ago in which he tried using old motor oil as a preservative for
a wooden tiki he'd made out of a piece of log.
