Question

Anyone made outdoor chalk boards for kids?  

Answer 1

My parents made some with ply wood. Make sure you gloss the back and edges to seal it (ish) from the rain. We had different shapes they lasted ages

@patently927 thinking exterior ply, paint the back and edges with johnstone's wood care. Then put a trim around it and paint same colour. Then paint front of board with chalkboard paint

We didn't have a trim around the edges and I had them for well over 5 years

Answer 2

Yep! I got some old wood and sanded it down. I bought chalk paint from amazing for £5 and its fab! I painted 2 coats and my duo love it x

Answer 3

Ply or mdf?  

Answer 4

I want to do this too

Answer 5

Interested in this too, what typed wood? And what would you seal/protect the back of the wood with? Does it need to be under a bit of shelter to protect the chalkboard bit? X
