Do-it-yourself country table. We make a garden table with our own hands What to make a country table

The table is the second object after the stool, which a novice furniture maker should take up. The design of a simple table is no more complicated than that of a stool; an unpretentious comfortable table for a summer cottage or for a picnic can be built in half a day using a hacksaw, a hammer and a drill. But a table made using the same technology and slightly ennobled can also look great at home, on the left in the figure, instead of an expensively purchased one. However, the table also gives greater freedom of creative self-expression, it can be meaningful and even key element interior design, it is not for nothing that handicraft furniture makers are called joiners, and not sofa makers, cabinetrs or bedside tables. Having mastered the carpentry craft, it will be possible to take up exclusive tables over time, the rest of the poses. there.

This article discusses how to make tables out of wood. Wood is an environmentally friendly, affordable and easily processed material with remarkable aesthetic qualities. In utilitarian products, she forgives beginners quite gross mistakes, but fine woodwork requires high skill. Having learned how to make wooden things, then mastering glass, metal and plastic will be much easier.

Tool and workshop

To make a table with your own hands, you need a separate from the living rooms production room: Woodwork is notoriously dusty. In addition, such good means toning and protecting wood, like wood stains, emit harmful fumes during staining; nitro-varnishes, too, although to a lesser extent. Therefore, home carpentry should be well ventilated, and preferably with forced ventilation. You can use the garage, but there will be a lot of sawdust, and they will not benefit the car. Better to work in the barn; if it doesn’t exist yet, then you can build it, but on the farm it will come in handy for a lot of things.

The usual carpentry tool, on the left in the figure, is enough for a start. But the work will go much faster, and the result will be better if modern achievements are brought to the rescue, right there:

  • Swivel miter box, pos. 1, allows you to make saw cuts exactly in size and in angle in 2 planes. It is advisable to take it with a complete bow saw, so everything together will be cheaper, and the work will be more accurate. The miter box is a universal device, it will always come in handy and it is better to buy it.
  • Also universal is a manual electric jigsaw with an inclined shoe, pos. 2, which allows you to cut at an angle to the vertical plane.
  • Disc grinder, pos. 3 and 4, it makes it possible for a beginner to get the surface of a wooden plate in 5-15 minutes, on which an experienced carpenter with a skin in his hand will take at least an hour, and tape, pos. 5, also quickly and efficiently process the ends; there are also belt grinders for grooves and recesses with a protruding working body. These are already specialized tools, unsuitable for other work, and quite expensive, so it’s better to rent them first. True, craftsmen still successfully brush with grinders; artificially aging, a tree, but this is a delicate work.
  • It is also preferable at first to rent a manual wood router, pos. 6, with a set of cutters. They process shaped edges, choose holes and grooves.

A universal household woodworking machine (UBDS) of various modifications is very useful on the farm. It is compact, fits on a table, powered by 220 V 50/60 Hz 380-500 W. UBDS combines circular saw, planer, wood lathe and a set of cutters. True, you can’t just grind the table legs on it, the tailstock caliper overhang is too small. But the caliper itself is just steel round pipe, it is easy to lengthen it. The stop of the cutter remains regular, it is mobile, the leg and with a long caliper are sharpened in one setting.

How to choose a tree?

A wooden table can be made from any wood of medium resistance to decay, except for the softest species: poplar, aspen, alder, willow, ailanthus. Of the domestic ones, these include:

The rocks are listed in order of availability. For example, timber harvesting horse chestnut, sycamore and juniper are not kept at all: the former are too valuable for landscaping in the southern regions, and the juniper is endangered and protected. Industrial blanks of elm are almost completely used for shoe lasts, weaving shuttles, etc., and mountain ash - for weapons stocks; There is no full-fledged plastic replacement for them yet. Stone birch grows very slowly, in limited places, does not renew well, so its harvesting is strictly regulated, and the wood is expensive.

Note: walnut is especially valuable for furniture - its wood combines high hardness with excellent viscosity, the most openwork walnut carving does not prick. And walnut wood from burls - large growths on the trunk - is not inferior in texture to Karelian birch.

At the beginning of a carpentry career, it is better to limit yourself to pine, birch, oak, acacia and boxwood. Pine or oak will go to the countertop; birch - on the legs of a pine table; in the countertop, it is strongly warped from the spilled. Acacia and boxwood make excellent dowels, see below.

On a pine countertop made of boards, you can and even need to take low-grade cheap boards - knotty, serpentine. But, of course, without falling knots, cracks, wormholes and traces of rot in the form of spots of unnatural color: black, gray, blue, green, in general, not similar to this tree. For example, rot marks on black (ebony) wood may be whitish or yellowish.

Why is the countertop substandard? Perhaps also unedged, which needs to be finished on a circular and jointer? And after skillful processing of them, plates of remarkable beauty are obtained, on the left in fig. Manufacturers do not like such a tree: the production cycle is delayed, waste increases. But for yourself with your own hands, this is not so scary compared to the result.

wooden humpback

Commercial pine has a clearly defined zoning of wood in the form of annual growth rings; in other conifers and many hardwood she is there too. On the saw cut of the board, the rings form the so-called. humpback in the form of thin concentric arcs. If the top of the tree is directed across the face of the board, as in fig. in the center, then when rallying the shield for the tabletop (see below), the boards are oriented with humps alternately up and down, from below in fig. If the ridges are directed towards the end of the board (on the right in the figure), then the boards are placed in the shield with ridges in one direction. These subtleties are necessary so that during operation the countertop does not split or warp.

Varnishes, paints, impregnation, glue

A free means of protecting wood from decay is used motor oil, but for what they eat from, this is not the best option. Optimal will be 2-fold, with a break of 3-5 days, impregnation with a water-polymer emulsion (WPE), it will give protection to the table for the entire time of its life. Even birch plywood impregnated with WPE is suitable for furniture front panels: it is also varnished on top and does not delaminate.

Old furniture nitrocellulose varnishes NTs-218 and NTs-2144 with solvent No. 647 are gradually falling into disuse: they are superior to water-based acrylic varnishes in all respects; in addition, they are safe to use. Also, glues, bone carpentry and BF-2 on alcohol are inferior to PVA; however, to obtain a high-quality seam, the latter requires applying glue to both surfaces, keeping them tack-free before joining, and holding them under pressure for 1-3 days, but in home production this is acceptable to you.

Wood for furniture can be pre-tinted and protected with a stain, which allows you to make beautiful typesetting parts; an example will be given below. To tint the assembled units, you can use paints based on the same lacquer and artistic (not paint!) dyes: oil in tubes for NC lacquers and acrylic water-based for the same lacquer.

First, they prepare a “painting”: they take 30-50 ml of varnish and squeeze 1-1.5 cm of paint into it with continuous thorough stirring with a paintbrush. The coloring is stored in a tightly closed vial and added to the varnish to the desired tone; a test for it is done on a piece of wood, the tone is determined by the complete drying of the varnish. Colored varnishes on NC and oil paints can be mixed according to the mixing rules oil paints for painting; acrylic - no restrictions.

First steps

The country table is the first of the homemade ones. If 1-2 brick pallets remain from the construction site, then the pallet table will be the first of the first. Not only because it is extremely simple, but also because it is very useful on the farm.

From one pallet, sanded, impregnated and varnished, it turns out garden table ik like a magazine, on the left in fig. If there is a pair available, in just half an hour you can make a wall-mounted desktop-rack, in the center and on the right. Chains for it can also be woven yourself from soft wire, covered with a PVC tube or, better, heat-shrinkable. To fully raise the tabletop, a small tool is placed on a shelf of a wall pallet.

With a little more work, a collapsible cutting table for a summer residence is made from one pallet, which allows you to transfer the summer-autumn harvesting campaign to the street without littering with husks and without trampling on the stumps. For the winter this table is collected in a compact package. The construction is clear from Fig; a bucket is placed under the hatch in the tabletop.

The next in order of complexity is the well-known country table-goats, colloquially a goat. Its construction of 40 mm boards is shown on the left in the figure, and in addition to it is a bench of the same device. And on the right - a country folding table on the same principle. It has swivel joints (M8-M12 bolts, washers and nuts with locknuts); in the place marked in green, a stop boss is placed on the nails between the crossbars of the table top. When folded, this table fits in the trunk of a car, so it will also go to a picnic. If this is not expected, or the trunk is larger, the countertop can be made longer.

Finally, it also does not require special tools and skills for a gazebo table, see fig. below. Material - the same magpie board and some inexpensive fasteners.

One step closer to art...

To advance in table building, now you need to learn some of the basics of carpentry. The table, in general, consists of a tabletop, its support frame, perhaps with niches and / or mechanisms, or simply plates - underframes - legs, and knots fastening everything together. Let's go through them starting with the connections along with the legs, because. their fastening is the weakest point of the table.

Connections and legs

At first, we need to master the connection on dowels - round wooden bosses, see fig. Dowel joints are assembled on a quick-drying glue that does not require exposure: carpentry, BF-2, acrylic. Sometimes, instead of dowels, nails with bitten off hats are used to connect thin boards, pos. 4, but this is bad: the wood dries out, but the metal does not, and over time the connection becomes loose.

For dowels, a thin-layered tree is taken stronger than both connected parts, i.e. the hardest rocks. A pine table with birch legs can be joined on oak or beech dowels. On sale there are ready-made round sticks for cutting dowels; before use, chamfers are removed from the edges of the dowels. Plastic dowels are also sold, but they are intended exclusively for detachable connections, for example. inserts in sliding tables.

Legs for industrial tables are attached with detachable drawers, see fig. on right. Pos., marked in yellow - the simplest, cheapest and worst. With its shortcomings in the complete absence of advantages, buyers of Shiroptrebov's Soviet furniture are well aware, even if it remains there. Reliable, well-kept, except for the legs, and underframe boards, drawers with mortise jibs, “green” pos. They also require the least cost, but are quite laborious, so they are rarely used in industry, but just right for an amateur. Drawer side with shaped steel jib, top right in the figure, even stronger; in this way it is possible to fasten legs with a round head and in general any, however, purchased shaped parts made of high-quality steel are required.

Note: legs are attached to the round table, as shown below in fig.

Detachable legs are needed not only for ease of storage and transportation. In a small apartment narrow corridor a table with legs is often simply impossible to push up to the living room, no matter how you turn it. Modern apartments more spacious, and in 1-storey private houses the table can be served / given out the window, so in such cases, the strength and durability of the table with tightly fixed legs comes to the fore.

For tables on a rectangular base, the heads of the legs for blind fastening must also be rectangular, pos. 1 in fig. By the way, the tsargs are also one-piece: then the legs with dowels that pass through a mortise wooden jib. From the inside, the dowels are cut flush and wedged with dogwood or boxwood wedges inserted across the fibers of the jib wood. Assembled with glue, such a connection is so strong and durable that these 200-year-old tables can be fought by grabbing the leg.

Sufficiently high-quality tables on turned legs are assembled simply on dowels, pos. 2. For simpler tables, the legs are made of timber and fastened with self-tapping screws after attaching the tabletop to the tabletop, pos. 3. Even simpler and lighter are the legs of a pair of boards each, pos. 4 and 5. So that they do not cling to the floor, you need to stuff the thrust bearings on them below or put the table on wheels.

table top

It is easier, but not the cheapest, to order a laminated worktop. chipboard(chipboard, laminate). Chipboard for countertops is available in the form of the so-called. postforming - slabs 3.6x1.2 m 20-60 mm thick with a decorative coating. The upper edge of the postforming plate is rounded, the bottom face with a drip collector, see fig. Modern furniture laminate is quite environmentally friendly, no matter what gossip does not want to forget the co-furniture, which stank of phenol for months.

Postforming is well bought by small furniture enterprises. They always have his scraps; of them to you willingly and for quite affordable price they will cut the tabletop to size if the company has a jig saw. Perhaps such an order will be accepted by a single individual entrepreneur if he is sitting idle. The finished slab will be closed, i.e. cover the end of the PVC with a piping (edge). If you will be edging yourself (the surcharge for edging is sometimes asked awkward), then keep in mind:

  • The upper and lower flanges of the edging have a different profile, see on the left in fig. Confuse - there will always be a piping of dirt on the table.
  • Kant must be taken exactly according to the thickness of the plate. It is possible to put on a 24 mm edging on a 25 mm plate, but it will soon slide off.
  • The groove for the crest of the edge must be selected with a manual disk cutter; saw, it seems that no one has yet succeeded as it should.
  • Before installing the edge, a thin layer of silicone sealant is applied to the end surface and the "sausage" is squeezed into the groove; in this case, the silicone will also be a lubricant, without which the ridge of the edge can simply be crushed.
  • The comb is inserted into the groove with light blows of the mallet, gradually moving along the contour. The tabletop must lie face up on the support; squeezed out excess silicone is immediately washed with a clean rag slightly moistened with table vinegar.

Plank tabletops are rallied in plank clips with wedges and spacers - wimahs. Wimes are quite possible to make yourself; You need 3-4 for a table top. Wyme boards (cheeks) are wrapped in polyethylene so that the shield does not stick to them. On fig. for example - the process of manufacturing a round tabletop; rectangular rally in the same way, only cropping to size is easier. The shield is rallied onto the countertop with glue and dowels (see below); if the boards are grooved, dowels are not needed. When rallying to PVA, the next plot is kept until the applied glue is tacky before installation in the wyma.

Often, countertops are assembled without a wym on a plaza - a flat surface covered with plastic wrap. It will not work to assemble a good plank shield on the plaza: either it will come out slitted, or the boards will stand on end when assembled. But inlaid countertops from fragments are simply wonderful in skillful hands. For example, at pos. 1-3 fig. - a tabletop made of sawing waste, tinted with wood stain. And on pos. 4-5, the base of the tabletop was the plaz itself made of thick plywood. Tiled and her fight is glued tile adhesive, then the depressions are filled with drinking grout, the surface is lacquered and the contour is edged with a wooden lath.

Note: these examples do not illustrate all the possibilities of making do-it-yourself inlaid art tabletops.

Underframe

Table base with non-removable legs - simple wooden frame, on the left in Fig. Niches and details of mechanisms are not involved in the power circuit. If the table is longer than 1.2 m, or the tabletop is removable/sliding, or heavy operational loads are expected (for example, a work table), the underframe is reinforced with stiffeners in the center. If the legs are fastened with drawers, then the underframe is made integral with the table top, so that a single power circuit is obtained, on the right in fig.

no frame

Tables without underframes are also known, in which the tabletop with legs work in a single carrier system. Very durable, eg. plywood table on the left in pic; its connections are shkantovye. Unfortunately, this is not an economical design for an amateur: the sidewalls cannot be assembled from pieces, they must be solid. In mass production, the waste is not very large, but a sheet of plywood with a thickness of 24 mm or more will go one piece for large sidewalls, and 1 more for smaller ones. The table on the right is already quite possible to make with your own hands: the supporting frame is prefabricated; connections - in a spike with a tightening bolt and half a tree. However, the countertop in this case should be round or square, with rounded or right angles.

... and get into the kitchen

Exactly. The table for the kitchen is the next in order of complexity after the simplest country ones. It must already meet the requirements of apartment ergonomics, dimensions - 75 cm in height for people of average completeness; the width of the seat for 1 rider is 60-80 cm, depending on its corpulence, the width of the tabletop is at least 70 cm. Aesthetic appearance highly desirable, but not decisive: suddenly he messed up with the decoration, that's what the tablecloth is for. The countertop should be easy to clean, durable, resistant to spilled heat from hot dishes.

All these requirements will be satisfied by a table made of chipboard on metal legs; they are also sold separately in sets of 4 pieces, with fasteners, on the left in fig. Factory legs for tables, as a rule, are supplied with height-adjustable heels. The table, the manufacture of which will be reduced to screwing the nests of the legs with confirmatory screws, will cost 30-50% cheaper than the whole purchased one, but in appearance it will not yield, on the right in Fig.

If you are not too lazy to put your hands on it, steel legs can be made with your own hands. This is not only a cheaper, but also a more durable option: the sockets of branded legs are cast from a rather fragile silumin, the fasteners weaken over time, they need to be tightened. You yourself can cut out nests from good steel, and weld your own legs into them.

The kitchen is more spacious, perhaps there is room for a larger table. In such a case - on the trail. rice. blueprints kitchen table in rustic style. "Rustic" this table is not only in appearance: it does not have any single nail and generally metal fasteners. Just wood and glue. A connoisseur, seeing such, nods his head in understanding and approval, and the design is simple and accessible to a beginner. True, in addition to the tabletop, you will have to rally the shields on the sidewalls, but in this case, the extra work is worth it.

Kruglyashi

A table with a round top is appropriate in any room, if it fits there. But the table top made of boards in this case is not the best. the best option: due to the presence of sharp corners, it is without a frame, very complex and time-consuming, subject to splitting. Type-setting countertops from small fragments, like the one described above from waste, are free from this drawback; unlike laminate rounds, they are decorative, stylish, unique, and practically free.

There are even more sharp corners in a small-type table top, but here the “broom law” works. Not the American senator Venik, who loves democracy in Russia to the point of complete oblivion of it at home, but the broom with which they sweep the rubbish. As you know, it is impossible to break him (a broom, not a senator) tied up, and a child will break twig after twig. So here, due to the ease of distributing loads between small fragments, the table top made of them works like a solid plate, and you can cut it off after assembly even with the letter zyu.

Note: the idea of ​​the senator-broom, sorry, Venik, was suggested by the statement of his compatriot Samuel Clemens, world-famous as Mark Twain: “I affirm, and undertake to prove it, that Mr. Cooper has no more fantasies than a bull. But not the bull that lows in the pasture, but the one that is the support of the bridge.

How to make a semi-folding round table, shown in fig; on the right there are the dimensions of the countertop and the assembly order. And in fig. on the right above - a small round table for the hallway, according to the old classification - a business card. Its feature is the minimum number of connections; glue assembly. Any kruglyash will go to the countertop, from a stump saw cut to a cardboard one, made according to the method of manufacturing cardboard shelves, but the underframe must be durable, made of wood (dvuhsotka board) or chipboard.

Moving on to the living room

The table in the main room of the house should be in line with the whole house. At the same time, with the modern desire for laconic design (which also saves living space costs), the table should not catch the eye for the time being, and take up less space. Therefore, one of the most sought-after pieces of furniture of our days has become a transforming table.

The simplest transformable table, which, with all its transformations, remains a table, and does not turn into a closet or bed - a bedside table; it is quite possible to make it with your own hands "from scratch". There are 2 most common options here. On the left in fig. - the table is deployable, it has a record ratio of occupied areas in expanded and collapsed form. These are most often placed in studio apartments perpendicular to the wall on the border of the kitchen and living areas. With the tabletop wings lowered, it will serve as a bar. Raising the wings one at a time, you can get a kitchen or everyday dinner table, and fully deployed (in the center), it will provide a place for a rather crowded banquet.

A bachelor living in a small apartment is more suitable for a folding bedside table, on the right in fig. These are, in essence, 2 small round folding tables, described above, connected by a rectangular insert. You can have lunch alone from it folded, because, unlike the previous version, there is where to put your legs. And having unrolled, spend a romantic evening with a beautiful stranger or sincere gatherings with friends.

All of the above qualities combine coffee-dining tables-transformers with a mechanism. The variety of transformation mechanisms is great, but for tables that are always tables, they basically come down to 2 types: an elevator (pantograph) and a book. How one and the other work, see the video:

Theoretically, a book is more stable than an elevator, although much depends on the quality of execution. It is more popular among book lovers, because the mechanism-book can still be made independently, and the elevator outside the production environment is unlikely.

How the table-book is laid out is shown in stages in fig. on right. For its independent production, you need to know that the key unit is the damping-balancing elastic link. In fairly expensive branded designs, very soft gas dampers (gas lifts) are used, but it is better for an amateur to stop at a spring damper, and not because a gas lift is much more expensive.

The fact is that the gas lift must be coordinated within fairly narrow limits with the kinematics of the lever system, the weight of the table top, underframe and the own weight of the levers. If the balance of the entire system does not fit into its characteristics, the mechanism simply will not work. And the spring can always be tightened / loosened; replace as a last resort. In general, an unsuccessful home-made transforming table with gas lifts rarely manages to be “brought to mind”, and spring almost always. If you still decide to suffer with a homemade acrobat table, in fig. - drawings of the spring transformation mechanism.

Without the availability of or access to drilling, turning and milling machines for metal, most parts of the transformation mechanism will have to be ordered. Then its production will cost a little about $40, and you can buy a good ready-made one for $50-$60. A factory-made transforming coffee table rarely costs less than $200, so even in this situation, the savings are significant.

The transformer table is made under the mechanism. One of the most popular are the Mazetti transformation mechanisms, thanks to good quality at a moderate price for this class of products. In addition, Mazetti movements are available in a supporting frame (inset in the center in the figure), which greatly simplifies installation. The rest of the pos. in fig. show the device and the dimensions of the table for this mechanism.

For a strong feast

Whatever you say, but in a normal family with children, friends and relatives, crowded gatherings at the table cannot do without, and here the transforming table will not always help out. However, banquet tables for the living room are more or less in full let's leave, as they say, for later: these are products of a higher order of complexity; primarily because of the extension mechanism.

By the way, the good old “sliders” with wooden guides and wooden sliders of the halves of the tabletop (item 1 in the figure) are quite convenient and reliable if properly executed, in addition to this, they can be made by yourself, but such a process requires a special detailed description. Modern mechanisms extensions with telescopic full extension guides, pos. 2, allow you to use not 1, but up to 3-5 inserts, which increases the capacity of the table by 6-10 people, respectively, but they are quite expensive, and their installation requires a description of no less voluminous.

There are banquet tables with clamshell inserts, pos. 3. In elite models, when sliding / sliding the halves of the tabletop, the insert raises, unfolds and puts in place or puts back in the underframe a very complex mechanism, but its manual versions are available for home production.

As for banquet tables with retractable individual tables, arranged like a keyboard stand in computer desk, then they can by no means be called popular: leaning forward (and how to avoid this if the house is without servants?), We will get the board back in the underframe, and our portion of the treat - for festive clothes.

But let's not talk about sad things. Recall that the table is not always pushed apart, and you can use the side table, but the whole table is in any case more reliable. Therefore, in the series of drawings below - a way to make a very durable and inexpensive dining table, and how it looks "live" - ​​see the left in fig. at first.

In addition

A table, and indeed any furniture, often wants to be painted not just with stripes or artistically painted. To protect the drawing from external influences and to ensure the possibility of updating the varnish if necessary, the paints should not be applied, but rubbed into the wood before varnishing. The technique of painting by layer-by-layer rubbing of paints is called glazing. So in conclusion, we offer a master class on wood glazing.

Table for suburban area- not just a piece of furniture, it is a ritual place where all household members invariably gather. In the summer, no one expresses a desire to go into the house to drink tea or have lunch. On fresh air and the appetite is better, and the food is tastier. In order not to carry furniture from home for gatherings, you can make an outdoor table for giving with your own hands, at the same time taking care of the benches.

garden table with built-in bench

The country table does not imply the complexity of the design, so there will be no problems with its assembly, even far from carpentry and creative works personalities. We will present you some very simple and at the same time original ideas its creation, perhaps some of the proposed by us, will decorate your site.

    Material for a country table

    Do-it-yourself table for giving: interesting ideas

    Conclusion

    Photo gallery - do-it-yourself table for giving:

the table for giving should be durable

Outdoor furniture is subjected to serious tests, so it must be made from durable materials. Specifically for the table, you can take:

  1. Stone.
  2. Tree.
  3. Metal.
  4. Handy materials.

The tables from the latter look especially interesting. But first things first.

Wooden table

outdoor dining set

When choosing a material, pay special attention to the type of wood. Board board - strife and use, in our case, not all are suitable. Flexible and easy to work conifers unfortunately they won't fit. In addition to the fact that they need special impregnation, because they are too flammable, the resin they release will also spoil the tablecloth and dishes.

The necessary elements must be sought among hardwood blanks. On the countertop it is necessary to collect boards with a thickness of 30-50 mm. For greater strength, they are stuffed on the frame. The legs of the structure can be saddled straight or X-shaped. It is important to process all the details well so that there is no danger of driving a splinter while wiping the table. Mandatory processing of the finished product with protective impregnations.

folding wooden table ik in the country with their own hands

In order to make a table “for centuries”, varnish it, and do it, as they say, without sparing the brush. The composition must be literally rubbed into the wood, and this will be possible only if you slightly heat it in a water bath. Lacquer coating is made in three layers.

stone table

a round table and benches made of stone will last for decades

If you want to make a monolithic structure that boggles the imagination and creates a special mood for meals, try working with stone. You can create a table of this type for a summer residence with your own hands or buy ready product. Shops offer granite and marble options in a wide range. There you can also pick up benches made of the same material as a set for them.

to inspire life in an old table, it is enough to tile the countertop

It will not be cheap, but if you really want to have such a luxury in the garden as a stone table, try to reduce the price of it. Lay out the bases of the benches and the table yourself. For this, it will fit perfectly:

  1. Flagstone.
  2. Brick.
  3. modern blocks.
  4. Regular cobblestone.

stone stump table

These materials will be much easier to fit into the overall concept of the garden and combine them in existing buildings. On the tabletop, seats and backs it is quite possible to take fake diamond. The view from this, the composition will not lose.

metal tables

Those who are "friends" with iron and have at hand welding machine, may be interested in the option of metal furniture. Products are elegant and aesthetic, with openwork decor inserts. The metal table will also need to be protected from early destruction. This is done by priming the metal before the final painting.

round garden table with stone top and shaped metal legs

Forged tables will satisfy the needs of respectable owners, but it is unrealistic to make them with your own hands. Similar designs are ordered by professionals. Forging requires the conditions of a forge. However, given that products of this type can be wonderfully combined with wood, stone, glass, you can only purchase a forged base for the table and complete it with a table top yourself.

If you are determined to work on creating a country table yourself and are ready to make it non-standard, look at the “unnecessary” things in each shed. Perhaps among them there are items that can become consumables for creativity.

Mixed assortment

An equally practical option for a country table, along with wooden, metal, rattan, stone products, is a “hodgepodge” made of all sorts of things. This creation will become a multicolored "character" of your garden and will never go unnoticed. What to make it from? You will not believe! Your starting materials will be:

  1. Broken flower stand.
  2. Metal barrel lid.
  3. Colored plastic scraps or round glass.

a set of timber

Take a sheet of paper and try to draw on it a circular ornament in the spirit of the Moroccan style. Enlarge the creation to the required size. A photocopier will help you do this quickly.

We put the resulting blank under the glass and draw lines with a copper contour. Let it dry for a day or less. The recommended drying time is indicated by the manufacturer.

it is enough to decorate the side parts of the bench and chairs with wheels to get the original garden furniture for giving

Now it's the turn of painting the marked glass with stained glass paints. The main thing here is that the colors are evenly located inside the area allotted to them. If you have never worked with specific paints, it makes sense to practice on a separate piece of glass in order to understand how much you need to take for high-quality coloring of fragments. The completed painting must also be thoroughly dried.

Finished glass can be additionally decorated with elements drawn with a copper outline.

Cover the barrel lid with white paint, which will hide traces of rust, and proceed to the preparation of the main part of the countertop.

After the footboard is ready, glue the points of contact with the glass with a window seal. This is necessary for its best fastening.

Now the final stage. Gather all the parts together: put the glass top in the lid and put the composition on the stand.

It may not be very comfortable to dine at such a table, but it will be very pleasant to drink coffee in the evening cool.

pallet models

After construction country house you probably still have at least a few pallets on which packed bricks or building mixtures were brought. You do not even suspect what kind of magic wand it is for finishing the dacha. With their help, the table will be ready in a few hours, and it will have such a look that it will not be a shame to put it not only in the garden, but also in home interior. At the same time, note that you will not even incur special financial costs.

pallet garden table

A do-it-yourself table made from pallets can be designed in several ways. For example, for the most simple option you will need:

  1. Screwdriver.
  2. Brushes.
  3. Sandpaper.
  4. Swivel wheels.
  5. Colored antiseptic stain.
  6. Screws.

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 includes a 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. The bases of the wheels have large enough holes, and a screw without a lining will not be able to fix the part to a wooden surface with high quality.

step by step table making process

Now it remains to open the finished product with a wax-containing antiseptic. If you want to highlight the structure of the tree, use a transparent composition. To give color, stain is required. You can style the table:

  • under oak;
  • larch;
  • rosewood;
  • nut;
  • pine.

A low wide table would be appropriate on the veranda, in the attic room, the interior of the bath.

without additional processing, the table will last at least two seasons

If you want to make the summer recreation area more comfortable, make not just a table from pallets, but a whole set of country furniture, supplementing it with permanently fixed benches. Such a kit can be made portable and, if necessary, moved from the barbecue, say, to the pool or to the pergola.

A creative option for a country environment would be a pallet, transformed into a countertop and equipped with vintage legs left over from an old dresser, table, cabinet. This detail needs to be highlighted in a contrasting color.

You can use such furniture in the bedroom, gazebo, on the terrace.

A cable spool is also an excellent material for creating cottage design. Look at it - it's almost a finished table! A little decor and it's ready to use. The easiest way to decorate the coil is with twisted twine. To do this, simply wrap it tightly around its trunk. The upper disk of the structure is ground and varnished. If you want to add functionality to the product, install vertical rails around the circumference. They can also be decorated with a rope. With the advent of the crossbars, you can store the necessary items under the table.

The coil is heavy in itself, but it is easy to construct a lightweight version of the table for giving and, again, do it yourself. You will only need the top disc from the product, which will act as a countertop. The frame frame for its installation can be made of metal.

If in shady garden there is a stump of a suitable height and strength, then it can also be converted into an impromptu table with the help of a reel disk. This idea will be good not only for the playground, it is also rational to use it when organizing a relaxation corner for adults. Having cut a wooden disk in half, it will be possible to assemble original chairs, which can also be put on stump legs. Get a good garden set.

the reel table can be decorated with any pattern

Wood table?

Why not? Such a brutal option can become a decoration for a barbecue area and even a living room. Work is nothing. We find an old thick log, impregnate it with stain and level the lower part, giving the product stability.

No less easy to manufacture and attractive in design is a mobile hemp table. By the way, its functionality can be expanded if you are not too lazy to sew a foam seat on it, which will allow you to easily transform the structure into a comfortable pouf.

Not in short supply in the country and chopped firewood. Of these, it is also not a problem to quickly build a comfortable table design for a summer cottage with your own hands. Assemble the flat base and fasten the split timbers into the countertop with a belt tie. Put it all on its feet and enjoy communication with primitive nature in full.

Tire garden composition

Do not rush to get rid of old tires. They can make a magnificent landscape decor with extended functionality: use the table not just as a table, but the pouf next to it not only as a pouf, but arrange a place for garden tools inside them, for example.

the table and chairs are made in the same design style from old tires

Paint the tires in a color acceptable to you, dry, fold in a column, fastening the elements silicone sealant or other suitable compound.

Now take care of the countertop and seat. The first one is nice to make from durable plastic or cut them out of wood. For a pouffe, also saw out a plywood disc of a slightly smaller diameter than that of tires, glue foam rubber to it and cover it with a cloth. Removable parts are ready.

Distillation table

Did you find grandmother's brew in the bins? Fabulous! We transform it into a mobile storage table. We equip the bottom with wheels, and for the upper part we assemble a countertop from the boards. Having cut the boards to size, we collect them together on transverse strips, the length of which should correspond to the diameter of the welding. This will help the countertop to stay firmly in place, and not move out of the way and not turn over at the slightest load. There will be enough space inside the impromptu table to organize a mini-bar.

By the same principle, empty boxes, barrels, etc. can be converted into useful items.

Conclusion

As you can see, assembling a table for a summer residence with your own hands is a very exciting and absolutely not labor-intensive activity. Here, even beginners do not have to be afraid to spoil something, because, initially unsuitable for direct use, objects and elements are used. Try your hand at an unusual business for you. Perhaps the final results will be an incentive not to stop there, but to go further. From the materials presented, you can make many more unusual and necessary things in the country everyday life!

How to make a country table

Landscaping is an ongoing process. You build something, you improve it. Moreover, furniture is constantly required and tables are most in demand in the country. And put in the garden, and near the house, and also in the gazebo. How to make a table for a summer residence with your own hands we will tell in this article using the example of finished projects.

Homemade table from boards from pallets

Dismantled pallets served as the material for this table. Naturally, you can use new boards. Only one condition - they must be dry. You can buy dry ones (it costs more) or buy ordinary ones, put them somewhere in ventilated piles and soak for at least 4 months, or better - six months. In general, any furniture, including garden benches. made from dry wood.

We assemble the table for the street - put it in the gazebo, therefore we will not glue the tabletop boards, but we will fasten them from below, with the help of planks. This is a very simple country table and very cheap.

Having dismantled the pallets, we get boards with an individual color and pattern. Having conjured a little, shifting them several dozen times in different manners, we achieve the desired result. It turns out quite a nice table.

From the boards we assemble the countertop

We take the side parts of the pallet. We use them for the frame of the table. We grind them first with coarse sandpaper, then finely bring them to the required smoothness (grain 120 and 220).

Side rails will go to the side of the table

We take the strips that remained unused, with their help we fasten the countertop. We place them in the place where the joints of the boards are located. We use two self-tapping screws for fastening each board with a joint, one for a solid one.

From the processed sidewalls and two boards (also sanded), we assemble the table frame. We fix its parts with self-tapping screws at the end (two for each joint). The frame can be glued or also "planted" on self-tapping screws. Only their length is large. Under each, we pre-drill holes with a drill, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screws.

Tabletop almost ready

We turn the assembled countertop over and grind it. The order is the same - first with sandpaper with a large grain, then with a fine one.

Next is the installation of the legs. We select four boards of the same size, check their length, adjust if necessary. Then - again grinding. It's easier than sanding already screwed legs. We fasten the sanded boards to the frame. These will be the legs. For each - two self-tapping screws fixed in a diagonal (look at the photo). For greater stability, we install jumpers at the bottom. About 10 cm can be left from the floor to the jumpers. We connect everything with self-tapping screws so that the boards do not crack, we pre-drill holes.

The do-it-yourself table is almost ready. It remains to cover it with varnish

After removing the dust, varnish again. In theory, the varnish should lie flat, but depends on the wood, so another sanding / painting cycle may be necessary. As a result, we get such a homemade country table.

DIY garden table ready to use

If you do not like motley boards and traces of old nails, you can make their boards the same design. This table can be rectangular, maybe square. All sizes are optional - see available space.

Country table from the remnants of the boards

This do-it-yourself table for giving is assembled from the remains of boards of different breeds and sizes. Pine boards 25 mm thick and 50 mm wide went to the frame of the tabletop, the remains of 15 * 50 mm were left on the legs. We make the frame according to the dimensions you need. This table will stand on the veranda, and it has a small width. So let's make it not wide - 60 cm, and the length is 140 cm. The height of the legs is 80 cm (everyone in the family is tall).

We collect the frame, attach the legs to it

We immediately cut off two long boards of 140 cm each. To make the width of the table top 60 cm, subtract twice the thickness of the board used - this is 5 cm. Short bars should be 60 cm - 5 cm = 55 cm. We fold the frame, following the right angles, twist with self-tapping screws. We check whether the bars are folded correctly - we measure the diagonals, they should be the same.

We cut off the boards four boards of 80 cm each, fasten them from the inside to the assembled frame. You can use 4 screws for each leg.

We make jumpers under the shelf

Approximately at the middle of the height of the legs we fasten the crossbars. This is a shelf frame. The shelf can be used for its intended purpose, and it also increases the rigidity of the structure. We fasten strictly at right angles, checking with a large square.

We put the frame on the floor, check whether it staggers or not. If everything is done correctly, it should stand rigidly. Next, take sandpaper or a grinder and grind.

Let's start assembling the countertop. From the finishing work there were boards of different types of wood, some of which were stained. We alternate boards of different colors.

We fasten the tabletop boards with finishing nails, carefully finishing them with a finisher. On the shelf can be fixed with ordinary nails or self-tapping screws. Then smooth with a grinder. Final stage- painting. Very unlucky with the choice of varnish. Bought too dark, did not like the look. Will have to sand again and paint a different color.

Homemade table for a summer residence is ready

Wooden table with glued top

This design features L-shaped legs. They are assembled from boards of the same thickness. In this case, 20 mm. To keep them well, 5 self-tapping screws are needed. Pre-drill holes with a drill with a diameter of 1-2 mm less than the diameter of the self-tapping screws. Then, with a larger diameter drill, we drill recesses for the hats. The diameter can be matched to furniture plugs of a suitable color or made from a wooden rod. Another option is to use wood putty, to which you add wood dust that remains after sanding. After drying and sanding, the traces will be difficult to find.

Legs with markings for fasteners

When assembling the legs, make sure that the angle is exactly 90°. As a pattern, you can choose a bar. First, we coat the joint of the two parts of the leg with carpentry glue, then install the screws in the following sequence: first the two extreme ones, then the middle one, and only then the other two. After the glue dries, sand the legs, varnish and dry.

Table legs ready

It's time to make the table top. It is assembled from boards of the same thickness. Pick up the size you need. You can use fragments of different widths. It is only important that everything looks organic, and the sidewalls of the boards are even and docked without gaps.

We coat the sides of the boards selected for the table top with glue, lay them on a flat surface (some kind of table) and tighten them with clamps. In this case, they managed one, but preferably at least three. We tighten so that there are no gaps in the resulting shield. We leave for a day. Having removed the clamps, we get an almost finished countertop. It still needs to be trimmed - to align the edges, and then sand it. You can trim with a jigsaw or a regular hand saw. Using a grinder is difficult to get a straight line, but you can try. After grinding, we get a beautiful countertop.

We glue the tabletop from the boards

Using the same technique, you can make an oval or round countertop. It will only be necessary to draw the appropriate line and cut the glued boards along it.

To make the table look more attractive, we will make a frame. We take a thin bar, process it with sandpaper and fasten it around the perimeter of the countertop. Finishing nails can also be used. Only the planks are also pre-lubricated with carpentry glue, and then with nails.

We fasten the bar around the perimeter

After the glue dries, we again process the junction with sandpaper.

This is the finished tabletop.

Now you can attach the table legs. We assemble a table frame from four boards (there is no photo, but you can do it as in the previous paragraph). We fasten it to the back of the countertop with glue, then install furniture confirmations through the countertop. Under the confirmations, a preliminary hole is drilled with an extension for the cap. Holes for fasteners are masked in the same way as on the legs.

We attach the legs to the fixed frame. We put them inside the frame. You can attach with ordinary screws. That's it, we made a table for giving with our own hands.

Board table ready

How to make a wooden garden table with benches

For this table, boards of 38 * 89 mm were used (they dissolved them themselves), but you can take standard sizes. The difference in millimeters will not really affect the results. In the photo below you can see what should happen.

To connect the parts, studs 16 cm long with washers and nuts (24 pieces) were used. All other connections are made with nails 80 mm long.

We connect the parts of the table with each other with studs with washers and nuts

The parts are installed in place, a through hole is drilled with a drill. A stud is installed in it, washers are put on both sides and nuts are tightened. Everything is pulling up wrench. How convenient is this option? For the winter, you can disassemble and take it to a barn or garage.

Making seats

Bench drawing with dimensions

According to the drawing, we cut the boards of the required size. Everything is necessary in double quantity - for two seats. We grind the boards, pay special attention to the ends.

We cut the short segments with which we fasten the three seat boards along the edges at an angle of 45 °. First, we assemble a structure that is attached to the seat from below. We take a board about 160 cm long, at the end we attach two short boards cut at an angle to it. Attach it so that this board is in the middle.

Bottom seat support assembly

Then we attach the legs to the resulting structure (you can use nails). Then we add more boards cut at an angle and tighten everything with studs and bolts.

We attach the seat boards to the resulting structure. Since this is a table for the street, it is not necessary to knock them down close. Leave a gap between two adjacent at least 5 mm. We nail to the supports (which are cut down), two for each board.

Fastening the seats together

We fix the finished seats with four boards 160 cm long. We fasten each leg with studs (if you walk, you can put two studs by setting them diagonally or one above the other).

We connect the legs to the boards with studs

Putting together a table

The table is assembled in a different way. Please note that for the countertop, the transverse boards are sawn along the edges at 52 °. We fasten them at such a distance that the legs enter. Each board has 2 nails. You can finish, with small hats, or you can hammer deep, and then mask the holes with putty.

How to make an outdoor table out of wood

Now we need to assemble the legs-crosses. We take two boards, cross them so that the distance between their ends is 64.5 cm. We circle the intersection with a pencil. At this point, it will be necessary to remove the wood by half the thickness of the board.

This will need to be cut

We make the same notch on the second board. If you add them together, they are in the same plane. We connect with four nails.

How to make X-shaped legs for a garden table

Similarly, we make the second leg for the table. While the table is not collected.

Installing the table

Now you need to fix the legs to the structure on which the benches are installed. We put them at an equal distance from the benches, fasten them with hairpins.

Table leg mount

Now install the table top. We also fasten it with studs. The last step is painting. Here everyone does as he likes.

Despite the many variations of plastic furniture that can be easily purchased at the store, many people want to make a table for giving with their own hands from natural materials. In order to make a table, you do not need special skills, the main thing is to prepare theoretically.

What does it consist of

If it is possible to use environmentally friendly material, you should definitely use it. Making a wooden country table will be an ideal option.

Practically the table consists of 8 parts: 4 legs and 4 planks for the tabletop.

  1. For the manufacture of legs, the 50th boards are sawn in length into 2 bars. The length of the legs should be 75 cm minus the thickness of the table top and a height of at least 74 cm, otherwise the table will be uncomfortable. That is, if the thickness of the tabletop is 3 cm, the legs should be the same length- 73 cm;
  2. Bars for the manufacture of legs are processed with an electric planer, chamfers are knocked off the ribs, and the ends and borders are carefully polished. This ends preparatory work for the manufacture of the table;
  3. The frame for the table is necessary to ensure the hardness of this piece of furniture. In this project, a 10 cm wide plank is used to make a frame. The plank should be pre-planed and fixed together with the legs with self-tapping screws, having previously lubricated the contact points with a mixture of PVA glue and sawdust. If necessary, excess glue is removed, and after complete drying it is polished with sandpaper;
  4. For the countertop, you can use a special furniture stand or separate boards. It all depends on your taste preferences.

The dimensions of the frame completely depend on the desired volume of the future countertop. After making the countertop, proceed to the manufacture of the frame, the size of which should be 25 cm smaller than the size of the countertop around the entire perimeter. The frame will provide stability and reliability of the structure.

The optimal dimensions for a country table are 82 * 102 cm, which are quite capable of accommodating three people, and the size of the frame in this case should be from 64 cm.

Assembly technology

Place the tabletop base on the surface of the frame and secure it with metal corners on the inside. This is necessary so that the structure can be disassembled if necessary.

Note! The assembled table should be covered with two layers of tinted antiseptic, and then with two layers of varnish. Such measures will give the table resistance to weather conditions.

Similarly, several designs can be made, as well as a large table that can accommodate a large family.

There is another way self-manufacturing wooden country table. Pre-prepared elements must be connected to each other at a certain angle, and then carefully laid on top of the boards that form the countertop. Initially, make holes at a right angle and tighten the nuts evenly. In the absence of a minimum carpentry experience, you can purchase blanks ready for assembly.

Three prefabricated legs made of boards with dimensions of 6.2 * 3.5 cm act as a support for the table. The blank is a horizontal element bolted with two legs expanded at the base. Planned boards with dimensions of 15 * 3.5 cm are fastened with screws to the legs, thus forming a tabletop. Next, a bench is made from attached planks with a size of 6.2 * 3.5 cm, fixed at a height of 45 cm from the ground.

Assembly of legs

For the legs, you will need to cut 6 blanks from 92 cm boards and cut the edges at an angle of 30 degrees using a template. From the same boards, you need to cut 3 horizontal crossbars, the edges of which should also be cut down.

Lay the legs of 2 pieces on a flat surface, and on them horizontal boards. In two blanks, make holes passing through, insert centimeter bolts into them, put washers on top and fix the nuts. However, the nuts are only needed to maintain the shape, so you should not fix them completely. Do the same with the other legs.

garden bench

In order to independently make a bench for a summer residence, you can use a couple of brick columns, stones or blocks of concrete on strip foundation. The height of the posts should not exceed 45 cm for the convenience of sitting on the bench.

Install the posts, and then make 4 plank wood planks with dimensions of 15 * 3.5 cm and the required length. They should be laid on poles in such a way that a free edge of 15 cm remains on both sides. Next, fix three slats 7.5 * 5 cm - from two edges and in the middle. If desired, simply lay the boards on the posts and fix them with screws.

Even in the absence of minimal skills in carpentry, you can make furniture that will delight you for a long time and make you feel proud.

One of the advantages of giving - the opportunity to spend time outside. And you can’t do without a table, because how else can you dine in the fresh air? Yes, and kebabs are more pleasant to eat right by the fire, without entering the house. Therefore, a table in the yard is a must! And since we are in crisis times, and you can’t buy everything, it’s better to make a table with benches for a summer residence with your own hands. It’s cheaper, and the thing will turn out to be unique, and it will be about a hundred times more pleasant to use it.

Table with benches: design options

Basically, there are two ways to make a table with benches. The first way is to make a monolithic product in which the table and benches are a single whole.

The second option involves the manufacture of benches as separate items. Then you can use them on your own. But no one forbids these approaches to combine.


We make a table with benches with our own hands

Wooden table with benches

We will focus on the first method and show you the easiest way to make a table with benches made of wood.

First of all, the table cover is assembled. As you can see, its design is extremely simple. Boards are simply fastened with self-tapping screws to three crossbars.

Then the legs are attached to the crossbars on the lid. Please note that the legs must be made of a thick board (40mm or more) or timber. They must be durable, because with such a design of the product, it is they who carry the weight of not only the table and what is on it, but also the weight of all the people who are sitting at this table.

Next, we attach the crossbars to the legs, on which the boards of the benches will be laid. They perform a dual function: on the one hand, they carry the benches, and on the other, they give rigidity to the entire structure. They must also be durable. And it is better to fix them not with self-tapping screws, but with 10-12mm bolts (two or three bolts on each leg), because it is this fastener that will take on the weight of those sitting.

It remains to attach bench boards to these crossbars, and the table with benches is ready.

We paint with transparent paint to be able to see the beauty of the texture of natural wood.

Admittedly, this design has some drawbacks. Firstly, if people sitting on one side suddenly stand up together, then those sitting on the other can outweigh and overturn everything that is served on the table. In addition, the crossbars on which the benches are held make it difficult to disembark and board. Such is the price of simplicity.

But the table in the photo below is devoid of these shortcomings, because. firstly, the table supports are on the same vertical with the center of gravity of people sitting on the bench (which, moreover, has its own legs and therefore does not load the table supports at all), and secondly, the benches are attached to the table in the middle, and not on the sides which makes it easy to sit down and get up from the table.

This photo shows how the frame of a similar table is arranged, though without supports under each seat, but here they are not needed, because. the table supports are again almost on the same vertical with the center of gravity of those seated.

If your loved ones have people with special needs who move around in a wheelchair, you can take this into account when making your table. They will appreciate it!

Bench with a table on a metal frame

If you're a bit of a welder, you'll probably find it easier and faster to weld a metal table frame than to fiddle with wood.

Metal frames are thinner and more reliable, so the whole structure takes on a less bulky, almost elegant look. At the same time, you can get rid of the shortcomings that are inherent in our very first design.

In addition, the strength of the metal allows you to move away from the usual forms and give free rein to fantasy.

And of course, you can go the way of benches not attached to the table.

Table with benches on a metal frame without welding

If you liked the idea of ​​a table on a metal frame, but you don’t have welding or you don’t know how to use it, don’t rush to get upset!

These tables are assembled without a single weld! All metal elements are simply bent into shape and fastened with screws.

We have shown you several ways to make a bench with a table for your garden. Which of them should be preferred? Wood has its own special charm; metal is easy to work with and allows for more practical and less bulky shapes. This choice is yours!
In any case, your table with benches will turn out to be unique in its own way, because handmade things always bear the personal imprint of the master who has put his soul into them.

We hope that at your leisure you will also think about how to make your own project of a table with benches for your favorite dacha.
