Location- under a patio so free from direct rain ( may get misted on days of rain w/ heavy winds ) and direct sun will start around 3 til sunset. ( rear faces west )
So i have priced out marine grade polymer cabinets and was taken aback by the cost. But was ready to order when a carpenter ( here for pricing out interior shelving/bookcase ) said i could use wood so long as its painted fully.
He said few places have fully painted cabinets for 1/4 the cost.
i guess my question...is this viable? I mean i plan on being here for at least 5 years and the cabinets will not be connected to the wall - close to it but not anchored. And with a counter top connecting the cabinets and mini fridge.
Looking for anyone who has exp either way. Im not opposed to the marine polymer, but at $800 a pop ( x 2 ) just was wondering if painted wood would give me 5 years.
thx.
