I live in Arizona and I had heard that using wood on the bar top is not a great idea because of the heat. Any suggestions. I am looking to build the L shape bar.

Use Envirotex and it will repel moisture and UV. Search the forum for tons of info on Envirotex. Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
