Concrete Countertops for DIY Outdoor BBQ and Fireplace
I’m finally going to build my pour-in-place concrete countertops for our BBQ and fireplace. It’s been a long journey; but it's time to get this done. I will be building my own custom forms to make the pour in place countertops. I have two countertops to build, one around the BBQ and one around the fireplace. This was a fun and challenging project, and the countertops look fantastic.
Tools and items needed: Concrete Countertop mix, Concrete dye, a cement mixer, a ¾" Melamine panel, some plastic trim, a tape measure, a screw gun drill driver, a Table or Miter saw, a hammer, a Brad Nailer, wood glue, a magnesium trowel, concrete finishing trowels, a hand sander, diamond sanding pads, some buckets, some builders paper, gloves and your personal safely gear.

    • @BruBuilds
      @BruBuilds 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for watching and the encouraging comment. I finished the stucco over a month ago, just haven't had much time for editing. I did use a bonding agent on the cement boards, embedded stucco mesh into the base coat and ended up doing 2 semi-smooth color coats on most of it. Had some challenges getting it even and smooth the first time but learned a few tricks and had better results with the second coat. I used a 20/30 color stucco mix, which is applied at 1/8" thickness, so it started to dry rather quickly. Using a red foam float immediate after applying it gave me the best results. Hopefully I can find some time to edit and get the video out soon, I may do a quick video this weekend to show the results, you are not the first person to ask about it.

      Corner bead and drip screed attached first. I embedded the stucco mesh into the base coat, I didn't get the self-adhesive type, so it didn't stick to the cement board. But I think it worked better to put on about 1/4" of base coat, stick the mesh into the stucco, then add another 1/8" of stucco. I would overlap the mesh around the corners.

    It’s a very nice job, but applying color to cement is a hassle and many times comes out with different shades. If it cracks or a piece comes off you will not be able to match the same color ever.
