For a few years we have had piers made from sonotubes and monster mud covering the outside, then painted and they have stood the test of time pretty well...until last weekend. I started setting up and then it rained and the mud began to crack and peel. So much for longevity.
Of course I know they shouldn't go outside in a rain storm, but now I have to rebuild them and was thinking of a way to make them more durable. I haven't thought of a way to water proof them, but can anyone offer some ideas to the rebuild that will possibly withstand rain.
I was thinking of a mesh coating with a stucco or cement covering, but I think they would get too heavy. Any ideas before the rebuild would be appreciated. I don't want to make them again.
