The simplest means can be decorated with the majority of furniture. The main thing in this matter is to show interest and a little creative skills, so that you can look at your crafts without shame.
The main features and advantages of garden furniture
When it comes to garden furniture, first of all, they mean chairs and tables made by yourself. Indeed, it makes no sense to acquire expensive garden furniture made of wood and other materials, if you yourself can create something very good.
Among the materials that will be needed in this matter, wood, fabric, as well as plastic will be present. Especially the wooden garden furniture is appreciated. Thanks to the properties of wood, you can easily create a chic element of garden furniture without special expenses of time and effort.
Creation of chairs and tables from logs
Chairs and tables are the main elements of garden furniture, which can be made with your own hands. Definitely, for this we need a huge log. If a tree has dried up in a certain place of your site, it is best not to do a stump of it right away, but to create a convenient garden chair. For almost all manipulations, we need an ax.
- The trunk of the tree should be at the level of a meter and a half.
- Next, we must cut down the excess part of the barrel so that a comfortable back remains. This element should be slightly tilted back, otherwise it will be completely inconvenient to sit.
- After all successful actions, it is necessary to process the surfaces in order to ensure the absence of axis and other protruding elements. For this, sandpaper may be related. It will be much easier to organize all this if there is a chainsaw at hand. At the same time, you can completely cut our future chair and place it in any convenient place. Of course, it does not fit for the room - it weighs a lot, and the appearance is not the most chic.
The creation of the table is also extremely simple and understandable.
In this case, the tree trunk should also be at the level of one meter, and the table lid will be placed on top. So that the lid itself is in harmony with the general view of the table, it is best to make it yourself. It is extremely easy to make from downed boards. An excellent assistant, again, will be a chainsaw. All fasteners are made using nails and screws. If in the future the table is planned to be used for a meal, it is best to process the surface of the lid with a sandpaper. Ideally, it is better to completely cover it with varnish, which for many years will protect the wood from aging and precipitation.
If dirt is constantly gathering in the place of tables and chairs from trees trunks, especially after precipitation, it is best to pour the territory around the gravel. Then, even after the rain, it will be possible to enjoy the vacation on your favorite chair from the log.
Creation of tables and chairs and thin logs
Obviously, massive logs are a rarity. It is much easier to find thin logs, from which you can also make garden furniture with your own hands. It will not look entirely presentable, but by applying small knowledge, you can create a huge table in size, for which the whole family will fit. The most massive logs should be dug into the ground - they will act as the legs of the future table. It is best to combine several logs so that the stability of our garden furniture is maximum. The table cover is knocked from various boards, and on the sides of the edging - also from small, but long logs.
Bench from logs of different sizes
Many drawings of garden furniture look quite seriously, and even the simplest moments of them are incredibly difficult to realize. The bench from logs is created in the shortest possible time. Despite the low aesthetic qualities of such furniture, it is insanely pleasant and convenient to relax on it. The most important moment in this situation is the presence of a massive log. If it is long, then it's just great.
- We saw it across into two equal parts, and we cut one of the resulting parts along. It will be the back and seat.
- The second part of the log will need to be cut across. These two parts will act as supports. Two boards that will hold the back of the bench will also come in handy here.
- All mounts here should be made using massive nails. However, you can make a small furrow in the legs, into which the very log on which gardeners will sit perfectly.
Creation of a garden sun lounger with your own hands
Gardeners with "golden hands" can try to create a really chic sun lounger, which will be an excellent remedy. It will take a lot of time to create it, but the result will be simply phenomenal. To create a sun lounger, we need:
- fasteners (nails, nuts and bolts);
- pVA glue;
- birch, beech and oak rails with various sections (rectangular, round);
- tarpaulin or any other durable material (about 2 meters in length and 50 cm in width);
Much here depends on those dimensions of the sun lounger that you want to get ultimately. For an average person, the following dimensions of bars are suitable: 2 pieces of 100 cm, 2 pieces of 62 cm, 2 pieces of 120 cm, 2 pieces of 55 cm, 2 pieces of 60 cm and one block - 62 cm should be within 2 cm.
All rails should be qualitatively passed. Next, it is necessary to make the required number of holes with a diameter of 8 mm on each bar. The drawing shows how to create this garden furniture with your own hands. The most important thing is attentiveness.
- On the two largest bars there should be special serifs - to regulate the tilt of the back of the sunhead.
- On square rails, it is necessary to make holes 2 cm each. U
- we put round rails on them and put on PVA glue.
- It all should dry for a whole day.
- After that, we have a full assembly of all parts of the sun lounger. The tarp is pre -refueling in round rails, but you can do this even after assembling the entire structure, but it will not be easy to stimulate tarpaulin directly on a deck chair.
For the manufacture of garden furniture with your own hands, it is best to use oak. This material is as resistant to sediments and can easily cope with any load. Separately, buying boards and logs from oak is better not necessary. It is ideal to use the available resources.
Creating a brick garden table
In many photos, garden furniture is also made from natural resources. If you have a little bricks left after repairing or creating a private house, it is best to use it specifically to create a chic garden table. In this case, brick will act as a basis. Obviously, to create a table cover, wood is indispensable material.
The base should not consist of a “brick turret”. It is important to equip a small foundation on which our future table will be based. The foundation will also consist of bricks located around the entire perimeter of the "recreation area". As in construction, it is the cement solution that will strengthen the brick component of the table. The base itself should be in the center of the table. Otherwise, their unsuccessful location may be extremely uncomfortable while relaxing at the table.
The base, as in the case of the creation of a wood table, is also created from downed boards. After the arrangement, it is necessary to treat the surface with sandpaper and covered with varnish or paint.
Creation of a table of boards
Plastic garden furniture will never replace wood, which has such important aspects of quality and reliability. Creating a garden table from boards is incredibly simple. The supports of such a table can be just like the legs of the kitchen table, but it is best to make them x-shaped. To do this, you need bars of 100x100 mm. In order for all this to be fixed, it is necessary to make a special neckline in one of the bars, as in the image. Before using the table, it is best to check their stability, since wood is sometimes extremely unpredictable. To create the basis, we need 6 bars of 50x100 mm. For fastening, a special glue or screws can be used. The latter is preferable. The video below shows how such a garden furniture is created with your own hands.
Conclusion
Despite the general simplicity, it is such wonderful chairs and tables that will not replace plastic garden furniture, which are filled with all construction supermarkets. Incredible practicality most often prevails and this case is no exception. Of course, there is also a metal garden furniture, but its cost is unlikely to delight those who are not ready to spend a thousand rubles on the usual elements of convenience. It is better to once again use improvised materials and create exactly what you want.
