Concrete – Will a few weeks of exposure to the weather damage cementboard

concrete

I am getting ready to put Durock on my outdoor grill area. I am wrapping it with stone but it will be a few weeks before the stone comes in. Will the rain damage the cement board in any way or should I wait until the stone comes in? Was wanting to start using the grill if the weather will not hurt anything.

Best Answer

I would wrap it in plastic. The rain won't intrinsically hurt it but mud and other particles could ruin some of the ability for the thinset to adhere.
