Kitchen Materials

When you build outside, you have to think about things like the weather and the sun. Dark countertops will hold heat more than light ones, so if you want to keep surfaces cool, you should choose the lighter option. In the rain, furniture and other items made of treated wood, stainless steel, or plastic will hold up best.
