Table bench Transformer looks not only stylish, it is also practical. Such a bench will become a chic supplement of any plot, whether it is a small cottage or a country cottage.
The table bench is desirable to do from a tree. The design can not be called simple in the manufacture, but in operation such a bench will show itself only from the best side. The usual bench can turn into a dining table to which 2 full beings are attached to the dining table. You can invite your neighbors or cover the table to lunch outdoors. The sale currently presents a wide range of similar products made of durable plastic and environmentally friendly material - wood. You can also meet forged benches with a built-in table. Only the cost of country benches and tables will be too high. Not every dacket will be able to afford to purchase such furniture. It is not always possible not only to buy finished summer furniture, but also bring, as well as choose a suitable place. Urban-gardener has every bit of land for gold weight. Therefore, many enterprising owners make a decision to build on their own furniture for the cottage, and to save place, choose an interesting option - to make a transformer bench. It occupies such furniture less space, if the table is not needed, the design remains in a non-disassembled form, and when it is necessary to relax in nature, cover the table and relax in the shade of the trees, you can reveal the bench and then it turns out as many as 3 cottage items: a full-fledged table and 2 benches .
What you need to prepare for work
First you need to decide on the material and form of the transformer bench. If your country or country mansion is built of wood (log house, board), then better and garden furniture is also made from a similar material. Especially since the stock owner always exists from what to build furniture. Boards or logs will be needed.
In order to handle the surface, it should not do without a grinding machine, the surface should be perfectly smooth smooth, as they say, "without a bitch."
A thin rail (for the front surface) is suitable for benches, and a thin wooden rail or bar can also be used for the tabletop. Material can be fixed with each other with metal planks. In any case, the surface must be smooth and desirable from the tree. In addition, it will be necessary to pretty work so that the appearance of the garden furniture is attractive. The ideal option is to open the surface of the bench and countertops with colorless varnish (in several layers). This will extend the life of furniture. Especially if you plan to leave the furniture to "Winter" on the street. Even if you decide to build a canopy or build a gazebo from a tree, in any case will have to do it to protect the tree from bug-core and other insects.
If you have a saw, and nearby - a mixed forest, go for the search for the desired building material. The bench and a table of drinking a tree look original. And in order to complement the exterior of the countryside, you can still make the tracks from the weave of the tree.
In this case, it is still necessary to go to work with brackets to connect the hemps together, and the gaps between the wooden disks are filled with resin. When epoxy resin snacks, it is necessary to thoroughly glue the surface.
Still, the ideal option for recreation at the cottage - table and benches with backs. Then certainly after hard work in the garden, you can relax and gain strength.

You can make such a design yourself and transfer garden furniture from one place to another. Such furniture will not only be reliable, but also durable (for the winter, the table bench can be removed into the house), as well as practical and stable. A tree is a terrible material and durable, and still clean, so you can count on long exploitation of garden furniture.
We prepare a wooden board (length 1500 mm, width 200 and more mm). We also need a connecting element (bar, 40x40 mm in size, you can take 50x50 mm).
Still need to prepare:
- wood hacksaw;
- self-tapping screw;
- nails and hammer;
- colorless varnish;
- veil;
- tassels - 2 pcs.;
- line;
- electric drill;
- screwdriver;
- pencil.
Wooden table benches
Before proceeding with the work and cutting of the material, it is necessary to carefully examine the drawing of the table benches.
Consider on a specific example, how to make a bench-table:
- In this case, we will make an alone one bench with a back, which is transformed into the table. Such furniture made of 5 main elements: this is a frame (mainly metallic), a whole board back (it is also a countertop), countertop fixators, seats (wooden boards) and clamps.
- First you need to build a frame. To do this, you will need a metal pipe (25x 25 mm, the wall thickness is 2 mm). You can use a round tube, diameter from 17 mm.
- In addition, you need to prepare the plugs (preferably wooden) to insert into the frame and close the end of the pipe.
- To get a solid and reliable design, it is necessary to weld metal corners in the corners.
- We make a back or countertop. As a material, you can use Paneur (thickness not more than 20 mm) or a one-piece wooden bar (sizes 40 or 50 x 50 mm).
- Bar (3 pcs.) You need to navigate nails in width or "plant" on the self-tapping screw.
- If the plywood is uneven and rough, you have to clean the surface of the fine-grained sandpaper.
- Now you need to build a retainer for the table top. It is possible to make it from wooden plates and combine them with wire (diameter 10 mm).
- Now the bench - it consists of 2-parts: this is a lock and seat itself. To make a seat, you will need a wooden bar or a skull (width of 60 mm, for a bar size 30x30 mm). ATTENTION: Make a slightly smaller plate (15 cm shorter), it is necessary in order to fix the element between the items.
- The retainer itself can be reached from thick wire (diameter no more than 14 cm). Look at the drawing to understand how to flex a wire correctly:
That's all, the transformer bench is ready, you can check the garden furniture - how the bench is moving and turns into a table. And now the next stage is the preparation of the surface.
Works on the finishing of garden furniture
We made only part of the work, it remains quite a bit - it is necessary to treat the surface. Places where "sits" fasteners must be treated with a special composition - a putty for wood. The mixture is sold in the finished form, you must apply to these places and smooth the bulges. Use the rubber spatula. This tool is great for such works.
After the putty will dry up, the processed seats need to be seized. For these purposes, a regular small-grained sandpaper sheet is suitable.
Before you begin stripping, the sandpaper is desirable to fix on a special device (wooden base), so you will quickly cope with the work.
Another important point: without surface treatment, it's just not to do. To protect the tree from rotting and moisture, it is necessary to cover all the wooden parts of the garden furniture lacquer. If you want the tree to be darker, first apply 2 layers of the simulatory, and then, after drying, there are several layers of colorless varnish. By the way, you can choose a lacquer with a shade, matte or glossy. It all depends on personal preferences. It is advisable to work outdoors, adapting the workplace. Make a canopy to garbage and dust stick to a wooden surface. The best time for work is morning or evening, when there is no wind.
If you use a tree with a terrain, do not miss the opportunity to emphasize the beauty of nature by Olifa (choose natural shades). Instead of olifa, you can take oil to process wooden surfaces. Apply the material into several layers with a gap so that the first layer manage to dry. Work with a tassel, cover the whole area, even those places that are not visible.
After processing wooden furniture with varnish, it is still time to walk on a special coating tree, which will protect the natural material from temperature drops and atmospheric precipitation.
To protect the metal parts of the garden furniture from corrosion, it is worth treating this surface also varnish, only special.
