Wooden table in the gazebo: the idea of ​​manufacturing their own hands

Things made with his own hands, will never go out of style. And it's not just jewelry. Garden and bedroom furniture hand made is not less popular. This is due to many factors, the most compelling of which - cheapness. We will consider other advantages, disadvantages, and all the nuances of design by creating a table for the gazebo.

Advantages and disadvantages

Before starting the process, you can disturb the question: "Is it worth it?". Is not it easier to order design, or buy ready-made? Possible and easier, but it's not the best option. And you will see for yourself by reading this article.

Let's start with the fact that the gazebo at their summer cottage has a significant place. It gathers all the relatives and friends of people, and is still the subject of self-expression, and the host of pride. The table is to be stout, to accommodate all the guests, and at the same time skillfully executed, better master hands that would indicate his concern for his own home.

Manufacturing table in the gazebo with your hands, you have a few advantages.

• Cost. Of course, to make furniture cheaper yourself. After all, you do not have to pay for the services of the master, in addition, you can use the means at hand, and existing tools.
• Appearance. Does not always found among the already finished goods that is necessary in a particular case. Dividing all with their own hands, you already have in mind the idea of ​​a complete and accurate will be able to put it into practice.
• Dimensions. No less significant factor. During the development of the project you consider all the dimensions of the pavilion and chairs or lava. You do not have to run to the shops in search of furniture size. You will only need to make the right drawing.

Another advantage is to enjoy the process. Many owners like tinkering to his house a variety of items, which later become the object of their pride.

Speaking about the cons, we can mention only a lot of wasted time. But you take the order of time driving around the shops in search of the desired product. Yes, and it can be considered wasted time spent with pleasure?

Choosing the type of construction

We have already decided: table gazebos with their own hands - a win-win option. So we get down to business.

First we need to determine the type of structure. On this basis we can distinguish 3 variants.

• Folding. Its main advantage is the compactness. The peculiarity is that it has a folding or twist legs and a folding table top. It is easy to transport, or remove for a while.

• Transformer. This type of construction also has a folding mechanism. From the previous different in that this form can be converted to a bench or other furniture. This type is also quite comfortable, but not as long-lasting due to the large number of sliding mechanisms.

• Stationary. Without additional mechanisms and opportunities to transform.

We stopped at the last option as it is more easy to manufacture, and durable in use.

Also, the product can be separated in the form countertops. The most common square. But frequent and round. We intend to make the table square shape with obtuse angles.

select material

No less important factor. Future material must meet the following criteria:

• strength;
• durability;
• reliability;
• ease of handling;
• naturalness.

This is the perfect set of qualities. However, the reality of them sometimes have to retreat. So, there are several variants of the material.

• Metal. The most simple in treatment for those who are friends with welding. Made of metal table is not difficult. It will be really durable and reliable, but it has a significant drawback - appearance. He is as cold as the touch and to the eye. Metal furniture can create some nasty atmosphere. However, this option may be interesting, and has a right to exist.

• Wood. The most common variant. Often, furniture, as well as a pavilion made of wood.

We focus on the second option. And in this case, we also have several choices.

• Natural wood. Usually furniture in the gazebo made of pine or oak. Pay attention to other species of wood, but they must be strong. Natural wood has a special energy, flavor and shape, so that will create a pleasant atmosphere for a friendly get-togethers.
  

  The best option for the production of the table in the arbor with their hands is wood from deciduous trees

• Wood-shaving materials. They are rarely used for garden furniture because they do not seem to be very durable, but is also found in such products. Most often, they are used in combination with other raw materials (wood or metal)
  

  Chipboard afraid of moisture, therefore not suitable for street outdoor gazebos

We chose to work natural wood. Therefore, we consider all the nuances of working with him.

Processing basics

Since garden furniture, being on the street exposed to different humidity levels and temperature, not to mention the experience of winter, the wood must be treated with special means. Such a procedure is required. It will help the product last a long time due to the fact that will prevent the destruction of the foundations moisture, temperature changes and insects.

Keep in mind that wood processing is performed before and after installation. At the end of construction of the finished product coated with lacquer 2 times.

So, we chose the material for the base and handle it. Now we can proceed to the construction of our creation and decoration.

Step-by-step instruction

To do quality work, and not to miss anything better to make a plan, and indicate in it all the necessary details. Here we present a step by step plan that you can take as a basis.

stage work	Tools and materials	Expected Result
Creating drawings	Whatman paper, pencil, ruler, tape measure	A project with all calculations
Preparatory	All instruments (discussed below), a sufficient amount of wood, fasteners	Prepared the basis for further action
Manufacture of individual parts	Boards, tools for wood processing, measuring tape, pencil	All components are made of future products
Assembly	Produced components, fastening tools	Complete assembly, the surface is ready for the final coating
The final coating	Varnish, paint, brushes	Creation can be used

Now we go more for each item of the plan.

Creating drawings

All work must begin with the plan and development of the project. At this point, you can take the help of a professional, or make a drawing of your own. However, remember that they must be accurate. Any, even a small error in the calculations can lead to errors in manufacturing.

Measurements are calculated from the dimensions and arbor lava. The optimum height is approximately 80 cm. In the drawing, you must specify all the components of the future product, dimensions, fastening methods, and the cost of the project.

Preparatory stage

To proceed, with the drawing, it will be easier. In it, we have indicated the right amount of details and measurements. Based on these indicators we select materials and tools.

For work, we need high-quality wood. We chose a pine board. Also needed screws and metal corners. Of the tools will prepare a saw, sander, drill.

As you can see we do not need so many tools and materials, and to make a table with his hands is not difficult.

Manufacture of individual parts

Direct manufacturing process begins with the processing of individual parts. We have a drawing, which indicates which elements are required, their number, size and other parameters. So, we need to make:

• countertop,
• rectangular box;
• legs.

To make a tabletop must be positioned close sanded boards and connect them with thin wooden slats.

The legs are cut the desired shape and size, polished. This is enough to prepare them for assembly.

Produce basket cantrail. First, do a solid rectangular box slightly smaller size countertops (all measurements take from the drawing). To do this, you need to take strong and thick planks, connect them together end to end.

Next, go to the assembly parts.

Assembly

For rectangular box fastened legs. To do this, they need to be inserted inside the rectangle into the corners and secure with metal parts and screws.

To design was a strong need to add stiffening ribs. To do this, prepare the board corresponding to the size of the distance between the legs. Attach them to the inside of the legs by means of screws. For strength across the resulting square add another bar. On the upper square, perform the same operation.

It was the last touch - the installation of countertops. Apply the resulting plane to the duct and attach thereto with a drill and screws. So we have gained a strong and simple table for the gazebo made with their own hands.

The final finish and design

We are on the home straight. The product is ready, it remains to make the final finish. Before starting work, we treated the wood with special chemicals that prevent its destruction. After mounting, to hold another processing - the coating lacquer. Since the product will last much longer and be safer to use.

Our creation is ready for use. You can leave it in the present form, because a natural tree in itself is a wonderful decoration gazebo.

You can paint it or paint, and re-varnishing. There is another interesting way - to burn. But he made prior to coating, and it is better to entrust this work to professionals.

That's how we got a table in the gazebo. As you can see, it is not difficult to design, and even fun.
