I am building a fold-out bbq storage center on my deck, which is outdoors, totally exposed to the elements. I don’t do much plywood work, but this clearly calls for it – it will be painted to match the house. The question – is this a job for outdoor plywood, or can I use a good grade of an interior plywood? And if I need to go to outdoor stuff, can I get it in a good grade – like an A/B?

MDO is the one to get if you intend to paint.

Why is this "clearly" a plywood job? You can paint wood. I built an outdoor shower that was batten on board panels, all of clear red cedar. It was painted to match the house. The wood won't warp or delaminate...
