I have an English oak table top, 4 planks, size about 2.10 x 0.8 m with a small gap between each plank.  It lives outside in southern France, exposed to hot weather in the summer and some cold damp spells in winter.  In winter it is covered with metal roofing sheets, weighted,  supported on 3 cross timbers, 5, 10 and 15 cm tall, to give a water run off and to allow air to circulate between the table top and the metal sheets.  Six years in, it is in great condition, it just has a yearly application of Danish oil, if I remember!
