The first step is to sand the pallet. At the first stage of removing the rough layer, use coarse-grained sandpaper, fine-grained sandpaper will be required for final processing. If there is a grinder in use, which is equipped with grinding wheel, use it instead of sandpaper rolls. This will speed up the preparation process.

Turn the pallet over and attach small swivel wheels to the bottom. This is done with ordinary screws. For greater reliability of fastening, place under the last washers that can be removed from similar screws used for working with metal tiles. Don't disregard this advice.

We continue to equip the summer cottage. Today we’ll talk about how and with what to fill dining area or recreation area. It is difficult to imagine a cozy gazebo or shade canopy no table and comfortable benches or chairs.
Today, garden furniture manufacturers offer a huge variety of tables: large and small, wooden, forged, wicker or plastic.
Of course, you can buy a finished product, but many people prefer to make garden furniture with their own hands.
About how and from what material to make a table, how to decorate the countertop will be discussed in this article.
Wooden outdoor table
Undoubtedly, the most malleable and environmentally friendly material is wood. Wooden table can be made round, square, rectangular or irregular shape, it all depends on the size of the gazebo or the number of seats. As a tabletop leg, you can use a regular stump.
The shape and appearance of the table largely depends on the style of your country house and exterior. log cabin can be supplemented with furniture made of logs and boards. The main tool for processing parts is Sander, since the surfaces of the tabletop and benches must be smooth, without notches.
The tabletop can be made from slats or narrow board, strung them on metal rods, or by connecting them with short rails.
A table made of wooden saw cuts looks interesting, especially if there is one on the site.
There are several ways to make such a table:
- connect the saw cuts to each other with brackets or tongue and groove, forming a flat surface;
- fix the cuts on some kind of base (in this case, the parts must be of the same thickness to form a flat surface). The product must be sanded and varnished. If desired, the gaps between the cuts are filled with epoxy resin, after which the surface has dried, the surface is polished again and coated with a protective compound.
Wooden garden table with benches single design looks great both in the gazebo and in the open area.
It's easy to make. Use the diagram below to make your own drawing and calculate materials.
When drawing up a drawing, consider some generally accepted standards:
- bench seat height from ground level - 400-500 mm;
- seat width - 300-400 mm;
- tabletop height from floor level - 700-750 mm;
- tabletop width - 580-900 mm.
The length of the table and benches is individual. The figure shows an example of the manufacture of a table with benches located on two long sides of the tabletop. Similarly, you can make a design with benches on four sides.
And here is a small version round table with stationary benches-stools for four seats. It is easy to move it to the right place in this moment place: in an open area, under a canopy or in a house.
If you wish, you can purchase or make your own folding garden furniture, which can be easily installed in any part of the garden or in the house.
Such furniture will last longer, as it will not be constantly exposed to precipitation. The weight of such products is small, they can be easily and quickly transferred to permanent place storage in the house or barn, where they do not take up much space.
In order for the product to serve for a long time, all wooden elements must be treated with an antiseptic and coated with varnish, wax or paint. To give the wood the desired shade, use a stain or a special impregnation with pigment.
Garden table from improvised material
Earlier we already talked about furniture made. Stylish table, made of pallets, is cheap and organically looks on personal plot. The design, complemented by furniture wheels, is also mobile.
Ordinary stumps, decorated with mosaics, look very original and can serve as a small table or stools in the recreation area. Suitable for mosaic decor various tiles, left over from the repair, chopped into small fragments and laid on tile adhesive or cement mortar.
The originality of this composition lies in the creative approach of the owners. The most ordinary stumps turn into a work of art.
An old table that has fallen into disrepair can also be decorated with mosaics and thereby update the tabletop. Old paint must be removed from the legs, sanded and repainted. Such garden table will serve the owners for a long time and will gather around him a family for lunch and tea drinking.
A wooden reel for winding a cable can also serve as a table, it is enough to process it and decorate it a little or simply paint it in the desired color. The table will be easy to move if you attach wheels to the bottom.
Many have things that they inherited, as they say: it’s a pity to throw it away, and there is nowhere to put it. Try to be smart and use them when arranging a summer cottage. As legs for the table, you can use the base of the old sewing machine, metal headboards and much more. The countertop, by the way, you can just buy and install it on top metal structure.
Those who have weaving skills can make garden furniture from vines with their own hands. If you are not capable of such feats, but love wickerwork very much, then you should go to the store. Manufacturers offer tables and chairs made of wicker, rattan or artificial fibers for every taste and budget.
Metal garden furniture
If you are “friends” with metal, have a welding machine, then you can make garden furniture from this material. Such furniture, as a rule, is openwork and original. In order for the product to serve for a long time, the metal must be protected from corrosion before it is used. One of the most simple ways protection of metal surfaces is a primer that is applied to the product before finishing painting.
Forged furniture for a summer residence - perfect solution for respectable owners of the house. Only craftsmen can make it blacksmith forging with the appropriate equipment and the presence of a forge.
Forged products are perfectly combined with many materials: wood, glass, marble. If desired, you can purchase a forged blank for the table, and fill it yourself.
Stone table
Recently, small architectural forms from stone. Including on sale you can find tables and benches made of marble or granite. Such products have a high cost.
But this is not the only solution. You can independently make a stone base for a table and benches, for example, from rubble, flagstone, brick or blocks, fitting them into the overall look of the garden, combining them with other stone buildings.
As you can see, there are quite a few options for arranging a recreation area on a personal plot: from cheap, practically worthless, to expensive ones. A table made with love will surely gather wonderful people around it, and joint gatherings will bring pleasant moments.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the table, both in terms of domestic comfort and any interior design of an apartment or cottage. Moreover, a kitchen without a table loses its functionality, so the table is deservedly considered a necessary piece of furniture for this room. Huge selection various models tables that can be purchased in furniture stores does not detract from the desire of some of us to make a table from boards with our own hands - in our own way own project, with personality and charm of a valuable thing handmade.
The fact that you can choose any model, the shape of the tabletop and dimensions, as long as they are comfortable and suitable for the room in which the table will be installed, gives a special charm to the prospect of making a table with your own hands from the boards.
A few examples below will help you make your choice and help in the manufacture of the model that suits you. In addition, drawings on how to make a simple table from boards will help to more clearly present the future design and assembly processes.
Table 1. Sturdy and stable dining table for home
To make this table, we need tools such as a jigsaw, an electric drill, a screwdriver, a grinder. You can, of course, do without some of the above "helpers" by using a screwdriver and a bar with a sandpaper- just such a replacement will cause an increase in time and effort spent on making the table.
The material for the manufacture of the countertop is a grooved board, at least 30 mm thick. The tongue provides a tight connection of the boards, increasing the life of the table, since with this method of docking, the likelihood of food residues getting into the gaps between the boards is practically eliminated.
For the manufacture of the remaining elements of the table, an ordinary 50 mm board is taken.
- Boards, if they are not processed, must be thoroughly sanded - in addition to aesthetic considerations, this is required by elementary safety and practicality: a sanded board is easier to paint, and much less paint is required for such a surface;
- Cut out the details of the table:
- Tongue-and-groove boards for countertops, 230 cm long - 6 pcs.;
- Spacer board about 170 cm long;
- Bars for fastening the tabletop (their length must match the width of the tabletop, or be slightly less) - 4 pcs.;
- Bars for legs - 4 pcs., 2 pieces of board for their base.
To improve the appearance of the product, saw the ends of the fastening bars at an angle of 45 degrees, carefully cut the tongues of the outer boards, and slightly round the corners of the table top with a jigsaw.
Table 2. The simplest table for a summer house or gazebo
Perhaps there is nothing easier than making this version of the table from the boards with your own hands, shown in photo 5. Table dimensions: 1200x740 mm, height - 750 mm.
For its manufacture you will need:
- Edged board, smoothly planed 40x140 mm;
- 2 bars 40x60x740 mm;
- 8 confirmations 70-75 mm long; self-tapping screws of various lengths;
- Chisel and planer;
- Electric jigsaw, drill with a special drill for konfipmatov, furniture key, grinder.
The first step is to assemble the countertop by fastening the boards with two transverse bars, placing them at a distance of 120 mm from both ends of the future countertop and using self-tapping screws, up to 80-85 mm long (so as not to reach the outer surface of the countertop). If ordinary boards are used, in the manufacture of countertops it is better to leave small, only 10 mm, gaps of the same width between them: through slots will prevent contamination of the countertop with food debris, without interfering with cleaning and without reducing its aesthetic appeal.
To achieve the same width gaps in the countertop, it is necessary during its assembly to lay a centimeter standard made of lath or other solid material between the boards.
Second step: assembling the table legs. On the chipboard sheet or plywood we draw a template - a rectangle with sides of 600mm (width) and 690mm (length). First, we make one pair of legs, then the second one in the same way: we lay 2 boards on the template in an X-shape, mark the lines of the upper and lower cuts of the legs, as well as the lines of their intersection - in this place the boards will be fastened together. We saw off the ends of the boards along the marked lines, and at the intersections with a chisel we select recesses 20 mm deep to connect "in half a tree". We fasten the legs with 35 mm self-tapping screws;
Third step – final assembly table. The drawing shows in detail how to make this simple table from the boards: thanks to him, the assembly process will not cause difficulties (Figure 6).
It is quite possible to make a wooden outdoor table for a summer residence with your own hands. For this, ready-made or independently developed drawings are used. To do it yourself beautiful table wood for outdoor use, you need to purchase quality material, and follow the rules of manufacture.
Handsome and comfortable country table- irreplaceable attribute summer holiday. When choosing a finished product, you need to decide on the size, as well as the following parameters:
- use of a piece of furniture outdoors or indoors;
- the maximum number of people that can be seated at the table;
- purchase budget.
The tabletop and the body of the outdoor piece of furniture can be made of different types of material:
- plastic models are ideal option for use in the country. The advantages are affordable cost, relative compactness and lightness. As a rule, they are produced in a round or oval shape, and can accommodate approximately six to eight people. Despite the stylish appearance, they are characterized not too long term operation. The disadvantages include the tendency to destruction as a result of negative impact direct sun rays. Also lightweight construction can turn over with strong gusts of wind, the need to use the most even surface for installation and susceptibility to damage, which is accompanied by a rapid loss of the original aesthetic appearance;
- wood models look very organic even in modern country landscape. Such pieces of furniture perfectly complement the garden plantings. Such models are classified as quite expensive. The disadvantages of natural wood include the ability to collapse and warp under the influence of water and temperature changes, and the legs pressed into the soil can rot, which is why regular antiseptic treatment is required;
- graceful metal models high quality and incredible durability. Such furniture looks especially beautiful against the background of forged fences and decorative elements. Such tables differ in considerable weight, as well as very high cost. Often modern models are very good combination metal with wooden or glass tops.
If you plan to use the table in country conditions all year round, then the best option will become a metal structure, which is very resistant to any adverse external factors. The legs of a metal structure can even be concreted, which will give additional stability to a piece of furniture.

Getting Started: Making Wooden Outdoor Table Parts
All elements in the form of wooden boards must be smooth, natural humidity, from quality wood hard rock. If necessary, before assembly, the boards must be leveled and, if necessary, sanded. To obtain a durable structure, it is necessary to carefully treat the wood with antiseptics.
It is not recommended to impregnate wood with oil formulations., which have proven themselves very well in operation under conditions high humidity, but increase the level of flammability and give the structure an unpleasant and fairly stable odor that persists for a long time. After applying water-soluble impregnations, it is recommended to apply a layer of a special glazing antiseptic, which allows you to give high decorative properties product and contributing additional protection.
Assembly and fastening of the main elements
At the first stage of independent production of a wooden outdoor summer table, the frame base of a piece of furniture is assembled. It is to the frame base that boards will subsequently be fixed to create a table top and, as well as table legs. The frame base traditionally consists of four planed and even, longitudinal boards with dimensions of 168x10x2.5 cm and a pair of end boards with dimensions of 85x10x2.5 cm.
The assembly must be carried out on the most even surface, fixing the end elements to the longitudinal boards using galvanized self-tapping screws and adhesive. Very important prevent warping of the base during assembly and fastening. After checking diagonally, additional boards 153x10x2.5 cm are necessarily fixed, which will give the assembled structure additional rigidity, as well as hide the attachment points for the legs.
The tabletop is assembled from boards measuring 95x10x2.5 cm. The boards can be fixed with both galvanized nails and self-tapping screws. Be sure to leave a gap between the elements of the countertop of 0.5 cm. Legs are fastened with screws or bolts. The second option is more preferable and allows you to get removable model convenient for transportation and storage.
Installing amplifiers - a guarantee of the durability of the table
If there is a need to obtain the most massive and solid construction, then amplifiers are used. To mount such parts, it is necessary to turn the product upside down with its legs. The transverse reinforcements in the middle of the tabletop are nailed, and the corners of the amplifiers are sawn off in order to save space.
