Hmm - doubt any kind of varnished ply would do too well on that to be honest. Slats let water through. If it sits on top it will just warp- Whatever it is. You could get some wider boards (pallet / scaffold board / or hardwood) so less slatty but still some drainage. A nice thick (40mm) solid wood worktop off cut might work for a while too.

I've got one of these tables and the top is a bit warped and knackered.
Would like to replace the top with something slightly larger (say 550x700) and not slatted so I can use it for pizza oven/portable barbecue. It will certainly be outside for all the summer and possibly a fair bit of the rest of the year.
A piece of varnished marine ply seems the obvious (I'm guessing 12mm) but it is expensive and only seems to be available in large sheets (or pre-cut but almost the same price as a large sheet).
Is there anywhere selling smaller bits of marine ply at a more reasonable price with either cheap delivery or around Tottenham that anyone can point me in the direction of?
Or, is this kind of stuff actually suitable for outdoor use if varnished as it suggests or will that just end up being need to replaced all the time
