most of the ones I’ve seen that have built-in countertop space were just metal. I’ve seen some with tile too but granite seems like it would be a good choice.

What would you do with the wood part then? Are you just going to cover it with the granite or remove it? I guess I’d have to see it to really understand what you are talking about.

Yeah, it doesn’t sound like wood would hold up very well outdoors. If you’re going to use it a lot, I’d definitely go with something more durable.

I’ve seen some set into stone counters that looked really nice. I don’t know exactly what the countertops were but it was probably granite or slate or something like that.

Well it’s a natural substance, so I don’t know why you’d have any problems using it outdoors. That’s where it came from in the first place!

Yes, granite is extremely durable, although I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything about how it stands up under different weather conditions. I’m sure it would be fine. I know you can put hot pans on it without damaging it so that might make it useful to have outdoors.

I don’t know why it wouldn’t work. Give it a try. I think the idea about getting a remnant is great. You could probably get something for pretty cheap!
