How to make a folding table on the balcony of simple materials

To create amenities on the balcony, I recommend you to make a folding table.Especially if the glazed balcony and held lighting.This will give the opportunity not only to relax in the fresh air, but also read a book, have a cup of coffee.In any case, it will be much more comfortable and more convenient with the "furniture".

Moreover, the folding table is relevant, given the size of our balconies.It can be made from different materials, but the installation site, usually one - under the window.It is in this table arrangement it will be convenient to use.And it takes two people will be able to about it, what can be done if you set it in front of the balcony.

table structure may be different.It all depends on the preferences of the owner and the availability of the raw material.Consider the simplest option.

table of laminated plywood or chipboard

This table has a small table top weight, so there is no need to make any special props for its fastening.The dimensions of the table cover are chosen arbitrarily, but must take into account two things.Firstly, how to arrange a table by the window - at the rate of one person or for two.Secondly, its width should be such that in the "working" position, it is not blocked the whole balcony and left the passage.

countertop sawed from a sheet of laminated plywood.It is possible to make a rectangular shape may be semicircular.Its edges are processed with a file, sandpaper.Keep in mind that even in summer there are periods when the air is literally saturated with moisture, and any wood does not "love."Therefore, the workpiece must be pre-treated (impregnated) with antiseptic, the same as that coated on linings balcony.

Needless mount table does not represent complexity.Under the window is installed horizontally metal corner, enough for 10 or 15. Its length must be a little less than the other side of table top, which is adjacent to the wall (so it was not visible).Fixing bracket to the wall is done in three - four places, depending on the table size.Enough of long screws, which are screwed into the fixed sleeve.

to the corners of countertop mounted hinges, they are in hardware stores, small size.These hinges are mounted vents on the wooden window frames.The main question - how to fix the table in the raised position.To do this, two support manufacture.Good use of the metal thin tube can be a rod.

On the countertop, on the back side, you should make a small groove for fixing the stop.If the table is a rectangular, two at the sides.Since plywood thick enough, it is enough to make two large drill chamfer (for slots).That they did not is expanded over time, it can be smaller screws next to them to fix the metal plate with a semicircular cut.They are sold in stores that sell furniture accessories.

Depending on the design balcony tabletop or can be varnished or painted.You can stick the plastic.The only disadvantage of this design is that each time will have to establish support.But to make this table quite simply, the most common tool, and the time it will take not much.
