Dip the ends of the legs in penta preservative and your rot problems are
over. If you can pick up your present benches, it can still be done.

Oooookay, let me try again.

What NONLUMBER bench tops have you ever seen or considered that might
work?

I'm not making 747s, fellers, nor am I building spars. The worst I might
want
to do is bend up a 4" x 6" bracket out of 5052H32 and drill it with a
Harbor
Freight benchtop drill press.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-However, since I'm going to a new method of framing, I'd like thoughts
on what
-you have used as workbench/shelving materials. The benches will be
about 2'
-wide and 6' long. Yes, I know, solid moulded Teflon would be best, but
quick
-and cheap is high on the list of attributes I'm looking for.

-Thoughts appreciated.
