Therefore, before collecting any design of wood, thoroughly process each element by antiseptic veneer, then cover 2-3 layers of the weatherproof varnish (tinted or not) or paint. Morilka in this case can act not only as an antiseptic, but also as toner, staining wood into darker tones (you can create imitation of wood rare and expensive breeds).

And if at a construction site, an unnecessary wooden coil is falling on the eyes, to get a stylish round table for the garden, it will be enough to just cover it with a varnish and put on the end:
And the last example of how from building pallets you can create comfortable garden tables and benches with your own hands, not applying special efforts:

With the next version of the garden, there is no such problem, because the old used tires can easily be found in the nearest Tire fitting shop! The table is low, but stable and very convenient.

Tree garden table
Wood is the most popular material for the manufacture of furniture. It is environmentally friendly, strong enough and durable, it is easy to work with it. Because of the small weight, the wooden table is convenient to transfer to place in place and, if necessary, quickly remove under the canopy. And to transportation it is even more convenient, the design can be foldable. In this part of the article you will learn how to make a folding garden table with your own hands.
Manufacturing instructions:
- The folding table will be 55 cm, in length - 85 cm and in width - 50 cm. For the manufacture of a durable frame, which will hold the tabletop and the legs will need wooden planks 2x6 cm. The frame length is 62 cm, in width - 35 cm . All its corners must be reduced to the end and sprinkle with self-drawing, because the frame will be brazily attached to the tabletop.

- For the manufacture of legs, there will be a similar planks 2x6 cm 50 cm long. For greater aesthetic and safety, they should be rounded from both ends. In order for the table clearly and conveniently decomposed, the feet of the legs must be performed in a certain sequence. First do the first pair of legs. Return 5 cm from the outer edge of the carrier frame, make the mark and swipe the vertical line. Then measure 4 cm up line from the table top and make the second mark. At the intersection of lines, make a hole with a diameter of 8 mm - here the legs will be connected to the frame of 8 mm bolts. Alternatively, an aluminum tube of the corresponding diameter can be used as in this case. Grind the tube into the hole, cut the sticking ends and fragrant on both sides. Similarly, attach the second leg to the frame.

- The next step will be fixing the bottom of the legs with each other to impart stability. This can be done with wooden slats or with a segment of chipboard. In this case, a 38x8.5 chipboard was used. Mark the width center of the chipboard, retreating from the edges by 7 cm, then measure the center to 2 cm in each direction, cut down too much and round the corners. This is necessary in order to slightly "drown" the fixing spacer in the legs and the carrier frame - so the second pair of legs can cover the first and not to write out when the table is folded. To drown the strut, attach it to the legs and frame, circle along the contour and in the designated places make cuts in the thickness of the chipboard. Then, with the help of the chisel, select the appropriate areas to get a deepening.

- To assemble the second pair of legs, you need to slightly correct the frame, or rather add small lining to zoom in the distance between the legs. If the distance between the legs of the second pair is the same as at the first pair, the table will not be able to work out. Make the lining of the tree with a thickness of 2.5 cm and the size of 8x6 cm.

- Closer to the edges of each lining, drill 2 holes and screw them with self-reserves to the carrier frame. Now you can install a second pair of legs and make a strut for them. Please note that the strut in this case will be longer (44 cm), since the distance between the legs was increased.

- Next, for each pair of legs, you need to install the limiter so that the table can not be disclosed too much and was as stable as possible. For the manufacture of the limiter, take the wooden plank 3x2 cm, the length of which is equal to the distance between the legs. Take the bar on top of the legs, retreating 5 cm from the frame so that the legs were slightly spinning.
- The folding table is almost ready, and remains only to attach to the frame at the tabletop. This can be done using steel corners or simply screw the tabletop with self-drawers, as in this case.


- The countertop for the garden table is easiest to do with chipboard. Clean all the corners of sandpaper, putting on the tree. Look to fasteners. Further, the table can be covered with paint or salary paper with wood imitation. To high-qualityly glue the paper to the surface, squeeze it and the covered parts of the table with the PVA glue, attach the paper and immediately go through these places a hot iron. It remains only to trim the surplus along the edges.
- To protect paper from wetting and pollution, cover it with weatherproof varnish. In this case, the first layer of varnish was tinted. When it dries, go through the surfaces of shallow sandpaper to create a roughness and increase the adhesion for high-quality fixation of the second layer of varnish. It can be done with a transparent composition. Before applying, wipe the processed details with a damp cloth to remove dust.
- Finally, when the second layer of varnish is dry, turn the tabletop to the furniture plastic ribbon of suitable color.

Now the table can be taken to the garden and use for its intended purpose. There are a lot of options for folding structures, and at the end of the article you will find the drawings of the Garden Table of Transformer. With your own hands, this furniture can even make a novice carpenter in the presence of the simplest tools.
Garden tables made of metal
Working with the metal is much more complicated than with wood, because this requires special equipment, not to mention professionalism. In addition, metal products are several times more weighing and not as mobile as light wooden tables. However, the service life of such furniture is much longer, and the resistance to external negative impacts is stronger. If you protect the metal from corrosion, it will flash in an open-air for many years.
In most cases, profile pipes are used to manufacture furniture. This is a universal and very convenient building material that has the right geometric shape, so that it is easy to work with it. To make your own hands a garden table from the profile pipe, you need to have a special pipe bender and welding equipment.

Metal also needs protection, so each item must be coated with an anti-corrosion composition or special paint. If metal furniture is in the open air constantly, once a year (spring) anti-corrosion coating should be updated.
As a rule, metal parts serve only to create a durable and durable frame, while the worktop and various decorative inserts can be made of wood, plastic, stone or glass. Various combinations allow you to realize comfortable places to relax. The most elementary design of wood and metal can be spectacularly looking at it appropriately and correctly entered into the landscape. To do this, you can use mosaic, multi-colored glass or decorative glass pebbles.
Also very beautifully looks a tabletop, laid out by an ordinary marine pebbles. And if you use the same pebbles to decorate the elements of the garden tracks or the porch, you can connect the exterior with the landscape into the harmonious composition.
