Hi Team, I'm building an outdoor kitchen and planning to build concrete countertops. Youtube videos shows many options which are bit overwhelming. Can you please suggest concrete mixes I can use? Trying to achieve a smooth finish. Thanks legends!
I created a discussion with extra photos and details here: https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Outdoor/Concrete-tabletop-project/td-p/146382
Getting ready for the mortar pour
Hello @snowgoose62
Thank you so much for the update on your concrete benchtop project. Before you start, I suggest having a quick read of this discussion - Concrete tabletop project by @markw. It has some very good suggestions on making sure that your concrete benchtop is free of trapped bubbles.
Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing the concrete poured in.

This is almost identical to what im currently working on. Looks great.
How many bags of concrete did this end up using?
Hello @Bryce8
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.
Let me tag @snowgoose62 to make them aware of your question.
I also suggest having a look at this discussion - Concrete tabletop project by @markw. It's an amazing example of how you can build a concrete tabletop independent of bottom timber support.
Please make sure to post an update, I'm sure our members will be keen to see what your tabletop looks like.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
