It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the table, both in terms of everyday comfort - and any interior design of an apartment or cottage. Moreover, a kitchen without a table loses its functionality, so a table is deservedly considered a necessary piece of furniture for this room. Huge selection various models tables that can be purchased at furniture showrooms, does not detract from the desire of some of us to make a table from boards with our own hands - according to our own design, with the individuality and charm of a valuable thing self made.

A special charm The prospect of making a table from boards with your own hands is enhanced by the fact that you can choose any model, tabletop shape and size - as long as they are comfortable and suitable for the room in which the table will be installed.

A few examples below will help you make your choice and help you make the model that suits you. In addition, drawings of how to make a simple table from boards will help you more clearly imagine the future design and assembly processes.

Table 1. Sturdy and stable dining table for home

To make this table we will need tools such as a jigsaw, electric drill, screwdriver, and sander. You can, of course, do without some of the above “helpers” by using a screwdriver and a block with a sandpaper- simply such a replacement will cause an increase in time and effort spent on making the table.

The material for the manufacture of the tabletop is a tongue-and-groove board, at least 30 mm thick. The tongue and groove ensures a tight connection of the boards, increasing the service life of the table, since with this joining method the possibility of food debris getting into the gaps between the boards is practically eliminated.

To make the remaining elements of the table, take a regular 50 mm board.

1. Boards, if they are not treated, must be thoroughly sanded - in addition to aesthetic considerations, this is required by basic safety and practicality: a sanded board is easier to paint, and much less paint is required for such a surface;
2. Cut out the table parts:

• Grooved boards for tabletops, length 230 cm – 6 pcs.;
• Spacer board about 170 cm long;
• Bars for fastening the tabletop (their length should match the width of the tabletop, or be slightly shorter) - 4 pcs.;
• Bars for legs - 4 pcs., 2 pieces of board for their base.

Cover all parts with a layer of varnish and let them dry;

Connect the tabletop boards tightly to each other (Fig. 1);

Attach 4 bars across the boards with self-tapping screws, placing them evenly along the entire length of the tabletop and retreating from its end by 20-30 cm (Fig. 2);

To improve the appearance of the product, file the ends of the fastening bars at an angle of 45 degrees, carefully cut off the tongues of the outer boards, and slightly round the corners of the tabletop using a jigsaw.

Using a template and a jigsaw, give the legs the same configuration, as shown in the figure below;

Reliable fastening of the legs is carried out in three stages: first, we attach the legs to the outer transverse bars connecting the boards of the tabletop; then we connect the legs with the spacer beam (Fig. 3). We finally secure the legs from above, through the tabletop;

We place the base boards on the lower parts of the legs and securely fasten them (Fig. 4);

All that remains is to cover all parts of the table with another layer of varnish and let it dry thoroughly.

Table 2. The simplest table for a summer house or gazebo

Perhaps there is nothing easier than making this version of a table from boards with your own hands, shown in photo 5. Table dimensions: 1200x740 mm, height - 750 mm.

To make it you will need:

• Edged board, smoothly planed 40x140 mm;
• 2 bars 40x60x740 mm;
• 8 confirmations 70-75 mm long; self-tapping screws of various lengths;
• Chisel and plane;
• A jigsaw, a drill with a special drill for sealing mats, a furniture key, a sander.

The first step is to assemble the tabletop, fastening the boards with two transverse bars, placing them at a distance of 120 mm from both ends of the future tabletop and using self-tapping screws up to 80-85 mm long (so as not to reach the outer surface of the tabletop). If ordinary boards are used, when making a countertop, it is better to leave small, only 10 mm, gaps of the same width between them: through gaps will prevent contamination of the countertop with food debris, without interfering with cleaning and without reducing its aesthetic appeal.

To achieve equal width gaps in the tabletop, during its assembly you need to place a centimeter standard made of slats or other solid material between the boards.

Second step: assembling the table legs. On chipboard sheet or plywood, draw a template - a rectangle with sides 600 mm (width) and 690 mm (length). First we make one pair of legs, then do the second in the same way: we lay 2 boards on the template in an X-shape, mark the lines of the upper and lower cuts of the legs, as well as the lines of their intersection - this is where the boards will be fastened together. We saw off the ends of the boards along the marked lines, and at the intersection points, use a chisel to select recesses 20 mm deep for a “half-tree” connection. We fasten the legs using 35 mm self-tapping screws;

Third step – final assembly table. The drawing shows in detail how to make this simple table from boards: thanks to it, the assembly process will not cause difficulties (Figure 6).

Is such a building on personal plot or in the garden, where you can relax with the whole family and invite friends.

But the arrangement is not only about giving an aesthetic appearance to the building itself.

It is important to organize and interior space.

The role of the gazebo in the design of the cottage

The gazebo has a special role in the design of the dacha. In addition to his functional purpose, it must be in harmony not only with the surrounding buildings, but also with the landscape of the site.

It would be good if all the facades of buildings on a personal plot, including the gazebo, were finished with the same material. Gazebos whose roof is an exact copy of the roof of the house look interesting.

But even such a room is unthinkable without internal filling, the main element of which is the table.

You can make a good table yourself

You don’t have to buy a ready-made table for the gazebo, because you can make it yourself.

This option is preferable. As a result, you will receive a piece of furniture that you not only need, but also fits perfectly in size and shape.

This does not require extensive experience in construction work and special tools. Simple skills and a small set of tools are enough.

Wood is the best choice for making a table. Its main advantage is its long service life, visual appeal and naturalness.

This table will be a worthy element general design dachas

Creating a Project and Drawing

At this stage it is necessary to create a detailed drawing of the future table.

Self-tapping screws and fasteners made of stainless steel can be used as fastening elements. 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

Do garden table you can do it yourself 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

To prepare 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 bar.

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 structural elements.

Connecting the tabletop to the frame

We treat surfaces

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

It will provide reliable protection from 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 saw cuts to each other using a tongue-and-groove connection or staples, forming 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 the finished product and coat 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.

It is not necessary to buy a ready-made table. You can make it yourself using pallets.

Such tables themselves are not difficult to manufacture. To do this, you first need to find or buy a pallet. You can find it in one of the large hardware stores. Then you need to saw off a part of suitable size and screw the wheels to it.

You can put an MDF panel or glass on top. You can also buy them at one of the hardware stores. The finished table must be treated with impregnation.

If you want to change its color, use a stain of a suitable shade. This completes the production of a table from a pallet.

Such a piece of furniture will look organic not only in the gazebo, but also under open air on a personal plot. And the design, complemented by wheels, is mobile and inexpensive.

From scrap materials

Many designers use any available materials to make a table. Such a piece of furniture allows you not only to decorate the interior space of a house or apartment, but will also look organically on a personal plot, in a gazebo or garden.

Ordinary stumps decorated with mosaics look original. Larger stumps can be used in a high-quality original table. And smaller stumps are suitable for use as unusual stools.

Any tile left after renovation is suitable for decoration. It is split into small pieces, which are attached to the surface using cement mortar or tile adhesive.

Originality lies in you creative approach. Such designs often turn into real works of art.

Tabletop in mosaic

An old table that has fallen into disrepair can also be decorated with mosaics. This will update the countertop. To do this, first remove old paint from the legs, sand them and cover them with one or two layers of new paint.

Then they sand the tabletop and glue the mosaic to it. You can apply grout on top, which will protect the surface from the adverse effects of the external environment.

You can also use a wooden spool for winding cable as a table. To do this, it is enough to process it and paint it in a suitable shade. But it can be further decorated.

The resulting piece of furniture will become more convenient if wheels are attached to its lower part. In this case, you can easily move it around the site.

Also, many people have inherited tables. Usually they are not used, as they require serious modification. With the right approach, they can be used as garden furniture or put it in a gazebo.

If you inherited a wrought-iron table, you can simply restore or replace the old tabletop.

Wrought iron furniture for the gazebo

For those who have weaving skills and sufficient perseverance, wicker garden furniture made from wicker is suitable. You can make such furniture yourself.

But if you like wickerwork and don't want to make it, go to a big box store. Here you can buy tables made of wicker or rattan, as well as artificial fibers.

If there is a lot of metal left on your site and you know how to work welding machine, can be done beautiful table for a garden or gazebo.

If you have the necessary skills, you will get an openwork and original product that will be one of a kind.

But before you start using it, do not forget to process everything metal surfaces anti-corrosion agent.

If you plan to paint the table, you can coat its surfaces with a special primer and apply finishing layer paints. The most suitable materials for countertops are wood or glass.

You can use a more interesting approach. Finish a simple tabletop with mosaics or pebbles of the same height. Then cover the surface with glass according to the size of the resulting tabletop.

Whatever table you choose for the gazebo or your garden, the main thing is that it is in harmony with the surrounding landscape and the interior of the gazebo. And a thing made with your own hands will delight you with its uniqueness and originality for a long time.

Even if furniture making is far from your area of ​​expertise, making a country table with your own hands to gather with family and friends on warm summer evenings is quite a feasible task.

Its main advantage, in contrast to purchased ones, is its undoubted savings. It is not necessary to make a table from scratch: simply by assembling purchased parts, you will save 30-50% of the cost. If you manage to use materials left over from construction or renovation, the costs will be limited to the purchase of fittings.

To choose a design, you need to decide where the product will be used.

Using for country or kitchen table cheap low-grade boards - substandard - you will get advantages that are not available for mass production. Sounds dubious? But it’s true: the knots that cause boards to be rejected have the most interesting decorative properties. If you can successfully highlight them, you will become the author of a completely unique design product that would be a shame to leave in the garden in the rain.

Making a country table with your own hands to gather with family and friends on warm summer evenings is quite a feasible task.

To choose a design, you need to decide where the product will be used: on a grassy lawn under a tree, to complement a gazebo, to stand in a workshop or in a house.

The simplest country table can be assembled in a few hours with a minimum of materials, but it will not last long. To get a product that will be truly pleasant to use, you need to carefully prepare the boards and perform all technical operations at each stage with high quality.

Its main advantage, in contrast to purchased ones, is its undoubted savings.

If you found in the forest big stump, it can make an easy-to-make garden table. All you need to do is remove the bark from the stump, make an even cut along the top, sand it, treat it with an antiseptic and varnish it. It is enough to nail or screw the finished stump to the “leg” furniture board- and it’s done.

Tabletops made from boards fastened at the bottom with transverse slats look good. If you prefer a glued tabletop, you can make it yourself, but it will require a lot of effort.

If you can successfully highlight them, you will become the author of a completely unique design product that would be a shame to leave in the garden in the rain.

It is difficult for a novice master to fasten the legs securely, so try to choose a design, correctly assessing your skills and taking into account the cost of labor and time. The easiest way to make cross-shaped and L-shaped legs. To attach straight legs, you need to carefully connect the parts.

One of the most cozy options for the garden - collapsible table with benches, which can be installed in a gazebo or on the veranda. It’s not difficult to do, the main thing is to choose quality materials and properly prepare them for work.

The simplest country table can be assembled in a few hours with a minimum of materials, but it will not last long.

How to choose a tree?

For garden or kitchen table wood will do many species, both soft (pine, spruce, cedar, fir) and hard (oak, birch, ash, walnut, maple, apple, pear, acacia, etc.) The exception is too soft wood species (poplar, alder, aspen , willow).

One of the main parameters of the suitability of wood for making furniture is resistance to rotting: the species listed above meet this requirement.

If you don't plan to study furniture work constantly or just starting to practice, give preference to the most common types of wood - pine and birch.

Tabletops made from boards fastened at the bottom with transverse slats look good.

It is possible to use different types of wood for the table top, frame and legs. At the assembly stage you will need dowels: they are usually made of acacia or boxwood. Birch wood has an inexpressive pattern and can be significantly warped due to spilled liquid - it is better not to use it as a tabletop material, but due to the hardness of this species, it can be used to make legs.

It is better to make the tabletop from oak or pine. If you know how to brush wood, the surface of your kitchen table can become a real work of art. Wood can be brushed soft species: wood is burned gas burner, and soft fibers are removed with a wire brush. It is better to carry out work in the yard due to the large amount of dust. If you managed to burn the wood evenly, you will be pleased with the result. Brush can be tinted with stains, stains, artistic paint diluted with water acrylic paint. Of course, brushing the wood is not necessary: ​​it is only a finishing option.

If you prefer a glued tabletop, you can make it yourself, but it will require a lot of effort.

Selection of paints and adhesives

Before installation begins, the boards must be protected from rotting. The tree must be impregnated with water-polymer emulsion (WPE): treatment is carried out twice with an interval of 3-5 days. This is enough for the product to last a long time.

Some models will require glue. Along with special carpentry adhesives (BF-2, etc.), you can use construction PVA: it is applied to both surfaces to be glued, dried until tack-free, then the parts are connected and kept under pressure for up to three days.

It is difficult for a novice master to fasten the legs securely, so try to choose a design, correctly assessing your skills and taking into account the cost of labor and time.

Choice paint and varnish materials determined by where the product is planned to be used: in the yard or indoors. For a garden table that is inevitably exposed to precipitation, alkyd, alkyd-urethane, nitrocellulose varnishes and oil paints are suitable. For a kitchen table, as for any furniture that is constantly located indoors, it is better to use acrylic paints and varnishes: they are more environmentally friendly and do not have strong odor. Varnishes marked with the “blue angel” sign are recommended for children's furniture and toys.

If you decide to cover the wood with stain, paint or simply tinted varnish, this must be done before assembly. Material compatibility must be taken into account. The varnish is tinted with a paint of a suitable composition: if the varnish is alkyd, the paint should be oil-based; if you use acrylic varnish, it can only be tinted with acrylic paint. At first not large number The varnish is thoroughly mixed in a separate container with paint, and then the resulting mixture is added to a larger volume of varnish.

One of the most comfortable options for the garden is a collapsible table with benches, which can be installed in a gazebo or on the veranda.

What tools are needed

To work you will need:

• hacksaw,
• circular saw or jigsaw;
• drill;
• screwdriver;
• hammer (if you decide to use nails).

Many species of wood are suitable for a garden or kitchen table.

This list includes only the most necessary tools, but to make the work more comfortable and the finished product to look aesthetically pleasing, it is advisable to buy or rent a rotary miter box, an eccentric sander and milling machine.

The rotating miter box makes it possible to make cuts exactly according to the right angle. An eccentric sander will allow you to prepare parts simply, quickly and efficiently: you will sand the boards in an hour, instead of doing it all day by hand with sandpaper. For high-quality processing of the ends, a belt sander is useful, and a milling machine allows you to select wood for the required grooves and process the edges.

If you do not plan to do furniture work permanently or are just starting to practice.

Homemade table from pallets

A spectacular table in a rustic style can be constructed from pallets ( wooden pallets). If you are the happy owner of such a container, especially a double-deck pallet, just disassemble it: there is no problem purchasing boards!

Do you think that buying new boards is always better? You probably haven’t worked with wood before: you can’t use raw wood (the product will become deformed after a few months), and dry boards are much more expensive. To dry raw wood boards, they are stacked in a well-ventilated area: this necessary process will delay your project by 4-6 months! Not a bad option For the kitchen table, the already mentioned rejected boards, also dry, can be used.

It is possible to use different types of wood for the table top, frame and legs.

Let's return to the pallets: they are disassembled. Now you have at your disposal strong boards with different patterns and color, it is possible that they are from trees of different species. These features should not be considered as disadvantages: they will add zest to the product: you just need to create from them interesting composition, alternating boards of a similar shade.

The sides of the pallet will make an excellent frame, and the remaining strips will be used to assemble the tabletop.

It is better to carry out work in the yard due to the large amount of dust.

To make the legs, you will need a beam at least 5 cm thick. All parts must be prepared: sand strictly along the grain with sandpaper, first coarse (No120-150), then finer grain (No400-600), carefully removing dust.

Some boards can be painted with acrylic or oil paint. Fans of the loft style can use stencils in the form of numbers or simple graphic symbols. We stain boards with a beautiful natural pattern or simply varnish them. After staining or first layer acrylic varnish soft fibers rise; They need to be sanded with medium-grit sandpaper and a new coat of varnish applied.

A spectacular table in a rustic style can be constructed from pallets (wooden pallets).

If a non-aqueous varnish is used, it is enough to apply 2-3 layers, and if acrylic, the number of layers can reach up to ten.

Rejected boards, also dry, can be a good option for a kitchen table.

We fasten the tabletop boards with strips, which we place at the joints of the boards. Using a drill, screwdriver and self-tapping screws, we fasten the boards to the planks (we use two self-tapping screws at the joints, and one on solid boards). The use of a drill is necessary so that when screwing in the screws the wood does not crack. We assemble the frame from the prepared pallet sides. Using a drill of a diameter suitable for self-tapping screws, we drill holes at the joints. We coat the joints with glue and fix them with self-tapping screws. We install the legs: simply screw the boards to the frame, screwing in the screws diagonally. To strengthen the structure, we make jumpers at the bottom in a similar way.

To make the legs, you will need a beam at least 5 cm thick.

Wooden table with glued top

For a glued tabletop, you need to select boards of the same width. If the table is intended for a workshop and its appearance doesn't have of great importance, you can use old floorboards: there are already grooves there. To make the grooves yourself, you will need a milling machine.

A flat surface is required to assemble the tabletop. We simply coat the sides with glue, join the boards together without gaps and tighten the resulting structure with clamps. Depending on the glue used, the tabletop should dry from 1 to 3 days. If everything is done correctly, you will get a tabletop with a completely smooth surface without cracks. All that remains is to work on the ends - first trim them with a jigsaw and then sand them. If you do not have a belt sander, this must be done manually - with sandpaper, first coarse, then medium-grit.

After varnishing the parts, you can proceed to installation, which consists of several stages.

If you don’t want to bother with glue and clamps, you can use a ready-made furniture panel made from hardware store. Then the tabletop remains to be covered with transparent or tinted varnish.

For good result you need to apply 5-7 (for acrylic varnish up to 10) layers. After every third layer, the working surface of the tabletop should be sanded with fine-grained sandpaper, carefully removing dust with a damp cloth. At the varnishing stage, it is important not to rush: each layer of varnish must dry thoroughly.

All that remains is to make the legs of the garden or kitchen table: let’s focus on the option with L-shaped legs. You will need boards with a thickness of at least 22-25 mm.

For a glued tabletop, you need to select boards of the same width.

L-shaped legs consist of two parts connected at an angle of 90. It is necessary to make a sample on the boards to be joined, coat the joint with wood glue, and then install self-tapping screws.

When the glue has dried, we coat the legs with varnish and, after drying, simply attach them to the tabletop with self-tapping screws.

There are several options for connecting the legs to the tabletop.

Table with straight legs

To make straight legs, just saw thick timber into pieces of equal length. There are several options for connecting such legs to the tabletop.

To ensure that straight legs are installed securely, you can use a dowel connection at home. You can make them yourself from acacia wood or buy ready-made ones. To assemble dowel joints you need quick-drying wood glue (BF-2).

To make straight legs, just cut a thick beam into pieces of equal length.

Table with X-shaped legs

Sequence of work.

1. On inner side We fasten the tabletops with self-tapping screws, two strips on each side.
2. To make the table look good, the edges of the planks must first be cut at an angle of 52.
3. We attach paired planks so that the legs fit, making overlaps of 2-3 mm on each side.
4. Place the boards on a flat surface, crossing them at the desired angle. We measure the distance between the ends of the boards: it should correspond to the width of the table.
5. We outline the intersection with chalk: here you need to select half the thickness of the boards so that after assembly they lie in the same plane.
6. We coat the recesses with glue and place the parts under the press for 1-3 days. For greater reliability, the connection can be strengthened with self-tapping screws.
7. We varnish the legs.
8. All that remains is to attach them to the tabletop, placing them in the grooves formed by the slats - and the table for your garden with your own hands is ready.

X-shaped legs are made from beams or boards with a thickness of at least 50 mm.

Table with benches

The optimal solution for a gazebo is dining table with benches attached to it. It is better to make this design collapsible so that it can be stored indoors for the winter.

The table will require thick boards (from 32 mm), which need to be cut into pieces according to the drawing. In this version, two benches are attached to the table. When all the parts are cut, they need to be sanded, paying particular attention to special attention ends. We varnish each board separately.

The optimal solution for a gazebo is a dining table with benches attached to it.

To connect the parts of the structure, we will prepare studs (length 160 mm), nuts and washers - 24 pcs. For other connections we use screws or nails of suitable length. Using a drill, you need to prepare all the holes for fastenings.

According to the drawing, we assemble the tabletop and the upper parts of the benches. We cut off the transverse slats along the edges, the angle should be 45. This is convenient to do with the help of a rotary miter box.

We make and fasten all the legs with self-tapping screws. We fasten the parts cut at an angle.

We varnish each board separately.

We tighten the product with studs and bolts. The holes for the studs must be pre-drilled with a drill. When installing the stud, you need to put washers on both sides and tighten the nuts using a wrench.

We tighten the product with studs and bolts.

We fasten the seat boards with gaps of 5 mm. When the seats are connected to the sawed-off supports, we attach them to the assembled base with 160 cm boards: you will need 4 boards.

Install the remaining studs and enjoy the result.

Using a drill, you need to prepare all the holes for fastenings.
