What you need to prepare for

First you need to decide on the material and shape of the bench-transformer.If your cottage or country house built of wood (log, board), then it is better to do, and garden furniture is also from the same material.Especially since there is always a hoarder host from which to build furniture.To work need boards or logs.

to accurately process the surface without sanding machine can not do, the surface must be perfectly flat smooth, as they say, "without a hitch".

benches to fit and slim rack (for the front surface), for countertops is also possible to use thin wooden rail or bar.Fasten together the material is possible by means of metal strips.In any case, the surface should be smooth and preferably made of wood.Besides, have pretty work to the appearance of garden furniture was attractive.Ideal - to reveal the surface of the bench and table tops with varnish (several layers).This will extend the life of the furniture.Especially if you plan to leave the furniture "winter" on the street.Even if you decide to build a shed or build a gazebo made of wood, in any case will have to do it to protect the wood from bark beetles and other insects.

If you have a drink, and near - mixed forest, go for finding the right building material.Originally looks bench and a table of the saw cut of the tree.And to complement the exterior suburban area, you can make even a track from the saw cut of the tree.

In this case, to work still need to stock up on staples to connect with each other hemp, and the gaps between the wooden discs fill resin.When the epoxy has dried, the surface should be thoroughly sanded.

Still ideal for relaxing at the cottage - a table and benches with backs.Then certainly, after hard work in the garden, you can properly relax and gain strength.

Photography tables and benches:

make such a design can be yourself and move garden furniture from one place to another.This furniture will be not only reliable but also durable (can be removed for the winter in the house-table bench), as well as practical and stable.Wood - a tough and durable material, and another - an environmentally friendly, so that you can count on a long operation of garden furniture.

Prepare wooden board (length 1500 mm, width of 200 mm or more).Also, we need a connecting element (bar, size 40x40 mm, 50x50 mm can be taken).

Still need to prepare:

• hacksaw on a tree;
• screws;
• nails and a hammer;
• clearcoat;
• stain;
• brush - 2 pcs .;
• line;
• electric drill;
• screwdriver;
• pencil.

Construction of wooden table, benches

Before starting work and sawing material, you need to carefully examine the drawing table-benches.

Consider a concrete example, how to make a bench-table:

1. In this case, we will be doing yourself a bench with a backrest, which is transformed into a desk.Comprising this furniture out of 5 basic elements: the frame is (mostly metal), the back of solid board (it is also the countertop), catches countertops, seat (wooden board) and the anchors.
2. First you need to build a frame.This requires the metal tube (25x 25 mm, wall thickness: 2 mm).It is possible to use a circular pipe diameter of 17 mm.
3. In addition, you need to prepare caps (preferably wooden) to insert into the frame and close the end of the pipe.
4. To obtain a strong and robust construction, it is necessary to weld metal angles at the corners.
5. Making back or countertop.The material can be used plywood (thickness 20 mm) or solid wooden beam (dimensions 40 x 50 or 50 mm).
6. Bar (3 pcs.) Must be nailed across the width or "planted" on the screws.
7. If plywood is uneven and rough, it is necessary to clean the surface of fine-grained sandpaper.
8. Now we need to build a lock for the most countertops.This can be done with wooden slats and wire them together (diameter 10 mm).

1. now bench - it consists of 2 parts: this clamp and seat itself.To make a seat, you will need a wooden beam or plate (width 60 mm, for timber size 30x30 mm).Warning: do one tablet slightly smaller (shorter than 15 cm), it is necessary to fix the element between the parts.

1. lock itself can bend of thick wire (diameter of no more than 14 cm).Look at the drawing to see how to bend the wire:

That's all bench-transformer is ready, you can check out the garden furniture - a bench is expanded and converted into a table.And now the next step - preparing the surface.

works finishing garden furniture

We did only part of the work, there are very few - you need to treat the surface.Places where the "sitting" fasteners, must be treated with a special compound - putty for wood.The mixture is sold as a finished product, you must apply the cleanser on these areas and smooth the bulges.Use a rubber spatula.This tool is perfect for such jobs.

After the plaster dries, the treated area should be sanded.For this purpose, fit a normal sheet of fine nazhdachki.

Before you begin to clean up, nazhdachku desirable to fix a special adaptation (wooden base), so you will get the job done.

Another important point: without surface treatment simply can not do.To protect the wood from rotting and moisture, it is necessary to cover all the wooden pieces of garden furniture varnish.If you want your tree was darker, first apply 2 stain layer, and then, after drying - several layers of clearcoat.By the way, you can select the lacquer, matt or glossy.It all depends on personal preference.Working outdoors is desirable, adapting the workplace.Make canopy to debris and dust does not stick to the wood surface.The best time to work - morning or evening, when there is no wind.

If you use wood with a relief, do not miss an opportunity to emphasize the beauty of nature linseed oil (choose natural shades).Instead of varnish can take oil for treatment of wooden surfaces.Apply the material in multiple layers with a gap to the first layer had time to dry.Work brush, cover the entire area, even those places that are not visible.

After processing wood furniture lacquer, is once more walk the tree with a special coating that protects the material from natural changes in temperature and precipitation.

, is to treat the surface and varnish, only a special order to protect the metal parts of garden furniture from corrosion.

The result here is a folding table-bench:
