Okay, I bought a new bench a few weeks ago and I am finally getting around to setting it up. The top is made of a fine grained, dense plywood type substance. I know it should be sealed...but with what? Deck seal??? Fish oil? Dura Coat? (
 )

Polyurathane resin boat sealant. Get it at a boat supply.

I don't work on that surface of the dense fiberboard. I cut cardboard to fit and put a piece of carpet remnant over that. I just change either of them as needed.

ON my old bench I had this really thick layer of flexible PVC that is used to line shower stalls and other stuff...that was really good but I have long since sent it the way of the dinosaur...
I have to get a few more cap screws and nuts so I'll check out some stuff while I am at the Depot...... keep the tips a comin' |

Here is what I am using on my deck.
www.woodrx.com/aboutinseco.htm This is an actual picture of my deck.  I found it by talking to the local dock builder. They use this on all their PT pine docks. I figure if it will stand up in a marine environment, it will work well on my dock. |

Take some trim or some 1x4 or 1x6 a tack it around the edge, but let it sit a 1/4in. or so above the top.
Get a sheet of masonite and cut to fit. Now you have a masonite inlay that can be easily replaced once worn out. A sheet of masonite is pretty cheap too. That's what I'm doing when I build my bench. |
