The outdoor one, just use a marine poly on as your top coat to make sure that the paint or stain you use will last in the weather. I would do two to three coats for a lasting finish. You can make them using cement blocks or bricks between the shelves, perhaps using 1X6 or eights, just make sure it is level and won't tip. I have one in my library three shelves high using reused bricks and 1X8"s as the shelves that my dad stained for my mom back in the seventies and it is still going strong. She has one shelf with shorter shelves that are half the length of the other two so that if she wanted a couple of higher shelves she would just use those two on top for two more shelves.
You make them the same, just use exterior rated wood and plywood. Then paint and prime with exterior paint or with Marine Varnish.
Got to ask....why do you want a BOOK case outdoors? Do you just mean and outdoor shelf?
Hi Mary Catherine!
I've listed some very helpful videos for you. Good luck on your project.
