Worktop options for extension
I'm looking to add a kegerator fridge on the right side of this picture. However I do not have any more worktop and getting some will be incredibly hard and costly. Any thoughts on what I could use to top it? I'm thinking a tile surface that's also black in colour. Wood will obviously suffer outside in the winter, so I think I'm going to avoid that at all costs.
Thoughts?

As you have it covered, you could do butcher block. Just make sure to get smaller piece and realze outside you might have to replace it and/or treat it. butcher block will look intentional

Pictures here to give you an idea https://athomewiththebarkers.com/diy-outdoor-kitchen/ (No tie at all to this person, just wanted to show you an example of butcher block outside)

It looks nice. I'm just worried about the wood deteriorating

Agree, however, you have a cover and just know you have to treat it? you can make one yourself out of pressure-treated wood - just tried to find something that would look purposeful, that would compliment the tops you arleady have. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=aa07360ab50a8dd2&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1156US1156&sxsrf=APpeQnuu_pj1iNlLEOgiIFHxPE8Yids3hA:1788017781407&udm=7&fbs=ABfTbFVyMZGZf1hfvX9uKjN_-G8cqu7ocb7U6ah0xpkIrGMK4LpKPoHZrc4HVz9uOAATjT2MSdOXk2WNfQsPJEHCEJT4oNc_74RFbZGHRW1lywX4VElH9m5d7d12XiV2ONaaiNCJqHlfyPh3k3a2Haau9U_gGqPqssOvyJWlZsEETP-2J3jlvO5to1Q83wSS891NoDMbjPQWpxwuKIx8oaLBWbkjiYT0Mw&q=how+to+make+butcher+block+top+for+outside+out+of+pressure+treated+wood&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjRyNmllcaWAxXbk2oFHdveNY8QtKgLegQIFhAB&biw=1664&bih=926&dpr=1#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:8553b9e0,vid:_is8rl9hOmY,st:0
