I replaced a table top for a garden table that is outside all year round.
I got some cheapo pressure treated timber

cut it into slats (so that the water wouldn't pool) and finished it with whatever cheapo stain I had lying around.
Has lasted fine through this winter. Slats probably aren't required if it is going to be folded.

Thought this might be the best place to ask. I've got a folding workbench, but the wood on top has had it. I want to replace with a new piece of wood (bog standard ply) but then waterproof it as much as possible. I thought about coating the top in epoxy resin, but that would only waterproof the top (it needs to live outside a lot of the time), or I could paint with outdoor weather-tough paint stuff. But that's not quite as hardwearing. What would you suggest?
