I know Particle board is not the best. Was also told if u build to where you don't use lids can be toxic. Was going to use melamine but the guy at the lumber store said with humidity it would not last a year. He told me if i sealed the Particle Board with Ultimate UV and Marine durability Spar Varnish it would hold up much longer. I was also reading that's what a lot of people are using. Just looking for thought's, In the end would cost more to do the Particle board and Varnish but if it works better I would spend the extra money.
Thank you
