There are two types of countertops - those with overhangs and those without.
The overhang is 1-1/2 inch with a 3/4 inch counter. Or put two pieces of plywood together for a flat top.
Two products I like to use for outside are copper and aluminum. You can order thin sheets of either on-line at very reasonable prices. At basiccopper.com they even have a tutorial on how to make a countertop. Good luck.
A cement countertop is cool option. Frame out with 2x4’s over a cement board base. Mix and pour out cement to fill your form. Trowel to smooth top allow to dry, remove forms and sand to smooth edges. Check out utube.
