i want to make a black board for the kids in my garden, and i was thinking of using mdf. but there's the problem of making it water proof. has any one got any other ideas.

Exterior grade MDF is available and is half way there as it has a grey core but must be painted on all surfaces.

You coul dalso use marine plywood

Blackboards were constructed using plywood - so wbp grade will do the trick. Will give a better surface to write on - mdf is too smooth anyway.

May be worth putting a small lean-to roof over the top (30cm) to protect it from therain.

make it A frame and stick it in the shed when not in use..

also has the advantage of having 2 sides that can be used at the same time to stop squabbles.... ( one side could be painting side.. )
