2. An important factor is also the selected type of wood from which you decide to make the table:

Conifers	Spruce and pine are soft woods and are easy to process. Just do not forget about the characteristics of such rocks that are more flammable. Also, a table for a summer house made of such wood has a wonderful smell of pine needles. But remember that in this material a large number of resin, and it will appear on the surface for some time.
Deciduous	Deciduous tree species such as beech, ash and oak are stronger and more beautiful. When working with them, it is advisable to use special tools for grinding and sawing. If you handle it correctly deciduous tree, then build a table that you will use for many years.

1. In addition to the tabletop, the table must have legs. You can make them from a wooden board or buy ready-made ones.

1. The boards are tongue and groove. They will create a tight connection and protect the table from liquid getting into the cracks. You can also use a pair of ready-made wooden panels measuring 2000x300 mm.

Tip: to ensure the table’s resistance to loads, select the thickness of the boards to be approximately 30 mm.
When choosing a material, make sure that the panels or boards are even, they must fit each other absolutely exactly, this will save time on separate measurements and cutting.

1. Rails for fastening - 3 pieces. They are needed for the stability of the structure. The most suitable size is 2000x100 mm with a thickness of 28 mm.
2. Table legs (finished) or balusters, their price depends on the quality of the material.
3. Hacksaw.
4. Self-tapping screws.
5. Electric drill. Please note that this tool must be available. You will definitely need it, so if you don’t have your own, then rent it or ask for temporary use.

2. Grinding machine. Its absence will make work much more difficult.
3. Sandpaper with fine and coarse fractions. This will make it possible to provide the table with the desired smoothness.

Process

Below are step-by-step instructions:

1. Connect the boards or boards and lay them outer side down. At this stage, it is necessary to monitor the joining so that the country table is level.
2. Secure boards or boards. Place the slats along long sides. This will strengthen them and fix them along short boards. To ensure the stability of the table, additionally secure the boards (or panels) using slats in the center in one or two places.
3. Be careful when securing slats. Screw in the screws slowly, without changing the degree of pressure, angle or intensity. Otherwise, the shield or rail will crack, which will affect the quality of the product.
4. Secure the table legs at a distance of 50-70 mm from the edge. Using an additional rail, strengthen the attachment point so that the support does not deform after a while. This will allow the table to look perfect for a long time. Secure the legs also slowly.
5. Turn the table over and remove debris and sawdust, sand all rough edges using sandpaper and a sanding machine.. Dry the table thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Option 1. Table with legs

When choosing materials for a table, first of all you should pay attention to the quality of the wood - not all wood is suitable for use. Conifers, such as spruce and pine, are pliable and easy to work with, but such material without appropriate treatment is more flammable, and the resins released can ruin the tablecloth.

Hardwood(aspen, oak, ash) are more advantageous, products made from them are strong, durable and have an attractive appearance.

Wood type	Brinell hardness)	Density (kg/m3)	Stability	Color trends
Birch	3,0	600	average	the color becomes deeper
Larch	2,6	500	good	takes on shades of gray
European oak	3,7	700	good	the color becomes deeper
	4,0	700	average	light to straw, yellowish brown
Pear	3,3	680	average	blushes
Cherry	3,0	580	good	from light pink to deep reddish hue

Materials and tools

For interior design dachas and country houses Long narrow ones are more acceptable, allowing you to move around the room unhindered. This should be taken into account when preparing everything necessary for work and designing the table itself.

For the table, it is preferable to use a board with a thickness of at least 30 mm. This thickness will ensure the strength of the table and the ability to withstand heavy loads. Optimal length varies between 150-200 cm. You can purchase two ready-made wooden shield size 30-2000 mm.

Balusters or wooden beams for legs. Curly balusters will give homemade table industrial chic and luxurious look. And to make legs from timber, you need to choose boards with a minimum cross-section of 50x50 mm. Comfortable height The table is provided with a leg height of approximately 73-75 cm.

Other materials and tools.

1. Boards 20 mm thick and 8-10 cm wide for the tabletop frame.
2. Wood putty.
3. Screwdriver and screws for 30 and 50 mm.
4. Sandpaper of various grits, as well as a holder.
5. Clamps for fixing legs and table top.
6. Electric drill.
7. Sander.
8. Building level.
9. Square.
10. Tape measure or centimeter.
11. Marker.
12. Glue.

Manufacturing stages

When preparing materials, all boards and beams are processed with a plane, sander or coarse sandpaper to remove unevenness, remnants of cut knots, and clean out cracks. The boards must be even and smooth, so they are sanded on all sides, including the ends, edges and corners.

If it is intended to be manufactured as a solid panel without gaps, then it is better to purchase tongue-and-groove materials - this will create a stronger adhesion of the single sheet and save time on adjusting the elements. Chamfers are cut from the edges of the beams for the legs.

Assembling the frame for the tabletop

The frame helps to enhance the strength and stability of the table; its dimensions depend entirely on the parameters of the table top, but there are several general rules: both in length and width, the frame should be 30-25 cm smaller than the tabletop.

Video - DIY garden table

The frame itself is assembled from 4 boards that form the outer frame, and 6 internal transverse strips. The boards are installed on the edge at a right angle using a square and tightened with 50 mm self-tapping screws. The joints are pre-coated with glue (PVA or wood glue). To prevent the boards from splitting, you can drill guide holes in them and only then screw in the screws.

Along the length of the frame, markings are made for the transverse strips, and guides are drilled. It is very important that the cross members are strictly perpendicular to both sides of the frame frame. The ends of the transverse strips are coated with glue, and the entire structure is fixed with self-tapping screws. Make sure that the screw heads do not protrude, but are completely “recessed” into the wood.

Table frame (production option)

The tabletop boards are connected, aligned with a tape measure and laid on the floor front side down, the frame is placed on top so that the transverse strips lie tightly on the tabletop. Guides for self-tapping screws are drilled into the planks, and all elements are tightened with 30 mm screws. There are 5-6 screws for each cross board.

Assembling the table legs

The tabletop is placed on a workbench or several stools for subsequent installation of legs. The table leg is fixed in the corner of the frame with clamps, and guides for self-tapping screws are drilled into the frame.

Before attaching the leg, glue is applied to the end of the block - this will protect the table from loosening and will contribute to greater strength. It is recommended to fix the leg on each side with four screws, but if desired, you can additionally use metal corners. Round balusters are fixed with long self-tapping screws on the front side of the table, and square balusters are fixed with corner fasteners.

Finishing

After installing the legs, the table is turned over and placed on the floor. Depending on the design of the table, the corners are sawed off along the radius with a jigsaw or the end is completely rounded. You can cut chamfers from the edges of the tabletop and sand everything thoroughly.

If necessary, scratches and cracks resulting from work are repaired using wood. It is better not to touch the screw heads so that the structure can be tightened.

After the final sanding, all dust and shavings are removed from the table, and the product itself is covered with stain or several layers of varnish.

Tables with elements of decoupage decor or single painting look beautiful and unusual. But there’s no point in hiding the beauty of natural wood under a layer of paint; modern varnishes and impregnations will do the job necessary work to protect the product from moisture.

Option 2. Tree stump table

Unusual and in a non-standard way to equip a personal space is to create interior items from natural materials. When landscaping an area, trees that are old or that threaten buildings are often cut down. If your dacha has or had just such a tree, then you definitely won’t have any problems finding a suitable stump. If the idea came spontaneously, then you can look for the desired stump in clearings, in the nearest forest, or ask the owners of neighboring plots.

Materials and tools

To make such a fantasy table from a stump you will need very little:

• wood for the tabletop, the recommended thickness of the tabletop is from 20 mm, when choosing boards you need to adhere to the rule “the larger the tabletop, the larger the cut of the board”;
• stump. For the work you will need a dried stump of any type of tree, the main thing is that the wood is intact, not damp or rotten. If the tree was cut down recently, the stump needs to be dried thoroughly. And it is better to do this by placing the stump in a warm, dry room or outdoors in sunny weather. It must be remembered that several weeks is not enough time for proper drying. As a rule, the entire process takes at least two months. You can determine the condition of the wood by the ease of removing the bark - if the bark comes off without effort, then you can start working;
• wood varnish on water based natural shade or transparent. It is this composition that will best emphasize the texture and advantages of natural wood;
• sandpaper of various grains and holder;
• plane or sander;
• chisel;
• building level;
• roulette;
• hammer and nails;
• screwdriver and screws;
• abrasive fiber.

Manufacturing stages

Stage 1.

The dried blank of the future table must be cleared of bark. A chisel or chisel will be useful for this step. The bark must be removed with extreme caution and precision so as not to damage the wood and prevent cracks and splits from appearing. Any soft or rotten areas should also be removed.

Stage 2.

After the bark has been removed, the stump needs to be leveled relative to horizontal plane. To do this, use a level to prepare Smooth surface, and the base of the future table is installed on it.

If curvature is observed, the imperfections are eliminated using a plane. At the same stage of work, excessively large rhizomes of the stump and all unnecessary parts are sawed off with a hacksaw, the sections from which are then sanded.

Stage 3.

The leveled stump is sanded with a disk grinder, especially its horizontal parts. The sides of the stump are also sanded, and hard-to-reach places are treated with coarse sandpaper. This is a rather labor-intensive process that requires a significant amount of time.

Stage 4.

Cracks and depressions in the barrel must be cleaned of dirt and debris using a chisel, then sandpaper folded in half (with the working layer facing outward) should be carefully processed from the inside. Remains of wood dust are cleaned with a brush or a construction vacuum cleaner.

Stage 5.

To prevent the stump from rotting and ensure air circulation between the table and the floor, furniture legs can be attached to the base from below. The presence of legs will make moving the table more convenient.

You can choose any legs: metal, furniture wheels or special rubberized stands. It is best to attach them using self-tapping screws to the base of the stump; the number is chosen arbitrarily, based on the size of the table.

Stage 6.

After installing the legs, we proceed to sheathing the top of the stump. To do this, we put two parallel strips perpendicularly on the sidewalls, and two more rows of holders on top - a total of 6 strips, fastened together with nails. This will be the frame for the table top.

Stage 7.

We fasten the prepared tabletop boards from below with transverse strips. The shape of the tabletop can be very diverse: round, rectangular, with rounded corners. A table option with a round or oval tabletop looks more advantageous.

To give this shape, you can use homemade device from thread, pencil and nail: the end of the thread is tied around a pencil, and the tip of the nail is placed in the middle of the tabletop, outlining a circle with a selected radius, after which all excess is sawed off, and the edges and surface of the tabletop are processed with a grinding machine.

Stage 8.

Holes and defects in the boards can be decorated with finely chopped shiny stones, filling them with varnish and after drying, sanding them again to smooth the surface.

The finished tabletop is fixed from below to the sheathing with holders on nails or self-tapping screws selected to size.

The finished table is varnished in several layers. After applying the first layer, the product is thoroughly dried and processed with fine-grained sandpaper. This will prevent the varnish from peeling off, and subsequent layers will lay down more evenly.

After removing the dust, apply the second and subsequent layers of varnish without grouting. If desired, after drying last layer can be treated with abrasive fiber - this will remove excess shine and give the surface a matte finish.

Such creative table will decorate any veranda, especially in a pleasant frame of green bushes or flower beds.

Such a table will become a worthy element of the overall design of the cottage.

Creating a Project and Drawing

At this stage you need to create detail drawing future table.

Self-tapping screws and fasteners made from of stainless steel. Be sure to use wood impregnation, which will protect the table from rot and fungus.

Development of a 3D drawing of a garden table in AutoCad.

Step by step instructions

You can make a garden table with your own hands by following this master class.

It is necessary to prepare all tools and materials for work in advance. On preparatory stage process the wooden surface and select boards according to thickness.

Then four boards measuring 15x70 cm are laid in a row and connected with thin wooden planks. And the end parts are covered on both sides with boards measuring 15x60 cm, which are fixed using special metal plates.

This results in a smooth wooden surface.

Rectangular top frame box

For the preparation of top harness make a box. For this you can use boards measuring 10x91 and 10x46 cm. First you need to make a base rectangular shape from long boards.

After this, stiffening ribs are installed on its surface, fixing them with self-tapping screws. It is important to install them at equal distances.

Support box

Preparing the lower frame

It consists of 2 parts, made in the form of the letter “P”. They are attached to each other using a long wooden plank. U-shaped elements are represented by two legs connected to each other by a strip.

Each support leg is made from four bars measuring 4x4 cm. After both parts are made, they are fastened to each other with a strip, the length of which is 10x99 cm.

To make it more convenient, turn the tabletop over and place it on the ground. Do the same with the frame.

Suitable as fastening elements metal corners and self-tapping screws that provide reliable connection of structural elements.

Connecting the tabletop to the frame

We treat surfaces

All wooden surfaces must be carefully treated using a special protective compound.

He will give reliable protection from exposure to moisture and insects.

Varnish impregnation

Wooden table

Wood is the most environmentally friendly and pliable material.

A wooden garden table can be round, square or rectangular. Irregular shaped models are also popular.

If you plan to make it yourself, the tabletop may consist of narrow boards or slats.

A table made from wooden saw cuts also looks good, which can be made in several ways:

• connect the cuts to each other with a tongue-and-groove joint or staples, forming a flat surface;
• secure the cuts to some kind of base.

The finished surface is sanded and varnished. The gaps between the boards can be coated with epoxy resin.

Sand ready product and cover it with a protective compound.

To give the surface the desired shade, you can use a stain or a special impregnation with pigment. Such a piece of furniture can be placed not only in a gazebo, but also in an open space in the garden.

Pallets are used as a basis

Designers actively use to create furniture wooden pallets. This technique allows you to create an original stylistic solution.

Existing ideas can be used to implement the following solutions:

• models on a stand;
• on wheels;
• with lid;
• with glass top.
