I needed water and weather proof tables, and did not find a good surfacing product at HD. I finally remembered the left over porcelain floor tile from when i tiled my veranda. 13x13x1/4".
So, i constructed a frame of 2X4 with cross blocks to form 13" squares. Took pains to keep it very square, and sprung for kiln dried wood to keep the shrinking from pulling loose the Construction adhesive used to bond the tiles.
The first one i built is sitting on concrete blocks at the proper height to work with large containers, and the one in the picture will set on some spare saw horses i have on hand.
Since i had the tile, the only cost was for the wood and adhesive. They are easily portable but heavy enough to be very stable.
I still need to get my tile saw out and cut the narrow piece, but that will be a simple job when I get around to it.
I am leaving for a 3500 mile road trip and do not want to pull a muscle or pinch a nerve so i am practicing doing some loafing this week
