Types of tables for pavilions

In the form of countertops, tables in the gazebo are divided into three main types:

• Round.
• Square.
• Polygonal.

Important! The most convenient and popular are the round tables. Their correct form turns such products into an ideal option for any type of gazebo.

Several different materials - wood, plastic, metal, as well as their combinations can be used in the process of manufacturing the table. Each of the options has its pros and cons:

• Metal tables are durable, but quite expensive and too hot in hot time.
• Plastic products are relatively inexpensive, but they will not last very long.
• The tree is considered the most affordable of materials for making furniture in the gazebo. Wood is easy to process, environmentally friendly, and also at an affordable price. A wooden table can be purchased at any of the specialized points, but the owner's pride will be furniture made, of course, with his own hands.

Important! It is interesting to see combinations of seats or table tops made of wood with brick bases, especially if the same materials were used in the construction of the arbor.

Timber for garden furniture

When choosing the material to make a table in the gazebo with your own hands, special attention should be given to its quality:

• The details of wood should not have defects that were caused by insects or fungus.
• The maximum flatness of the timber will allow the assembly to be carried out quickly and easily. In addition, it will reduce the consumption of material - large cuttings will be absent.

Needles

Coniferous rocks have a natural softness, they are easy to handle and have aesthetically attractive appearance. However, the resins released by this type of wood can spoil both the holiday tablecloth and the clothes of the people sitting at the table.

Hardwoods

Wooden benches and tables made of hardwood are the most profitable option. The table of them will be durable and strong. The most preferable is the material that is obtained from ash, birch, larch, cherry or pear.

Important! Remember that over time, the wood can change its original shade.

Pre-preparation

Before you start making a table for a wooden arbor with your own hands, you need to carefully think over several points:

1. The size of the table must necessarily correspond to the design of the gazebo. If there is not much room in your summerhouse, then it's better to choose the classic version - the table top, which is fixed on a sturdy rack. If there is enough space, you can set the table on two supports.
2. It is desirable - that the form of the countertop should be in harmony with the configuration of the arbor. For example, round or polygonal tables are considered a good option for hexagonal structures.
3. The optimal height of the table is about 80 cm. But here it is better to focus on the average growth of family members.
4. It's better to think right away, the table will be stationary or portable, and also determine the number of legs.
5. Arrangement and dimensions of furniture should not interfere with movement inside the premises.

Important! Portable furniture is a great option for small-sized arbors. If necessary, it can be removed or moved to another location.
