A guy I know can print us a banner, stick it to just about anything and
then
laminate it.

I have MDF and plyboard at my disposal, which would be better for
outdoor
use? It will be laminated but if weather could eventually get into it
which
would be the better option?

Thanks!



Waterproof ply aka marine ply
Mdf can be got that is moisture resistant (greenish colour) but WPB ply
will be best.

Mmm. I would steer clear of wood altogether.

Acrlyic, aluminium, steel..foam board even..


Fair enough, any recommendations of where to get the above from would be
appreciated while I go off and google.
