Required materials
It is recommended to use a quality board and a board for assembling the table with a folding table top. It is necessary to prepare additional fasteners, a varnish and a first coat for a tree. The main materials used for work include:
- footboard: 8 units 730x45x45 mm;
- boards for the frame under the countertops: 2 units 550x45x20 mm, 2 units 950x45x20 mm;for the folding part: 2 units 350х45х20 mm;
- slats-supports from plywood: 3 units 450х40х27 mm;
- sheets of plywood for countertops: 1 unit 985x585x18 mm;2 units for the folding part with dimensions of 985x530x18 mm;
- sheet of plywood for the shelf: 1 unit 885х481х18 mm;
- cross-section rail made of plywood: 1 unit 440х40х18 mm;
- side slats-supports from plywood: 2 units 450х40х18 mm;
- hinges( hinges): 4 units for flip tops 60х34 mm;4 hinges for folding legs 80х41 mm;
- screws made of stainless steel;
- metal dowels for shelves.
Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare the legs and frame for assembly. On the beam used to create the frame, cut grooves with a width of about 2 cm, at a distance of 3-4 cm from each edge. Drilled holes for connecting components and attaching to the frame legs.
The legs themselves are cross-shaped, as shown in the photo. This will tightly install the frame and eliminate its skew in the future. To make a good collapsible table will help and quality tools. For assembly it is necessary to prepare a drill, a circular saw.
Assembly of the folding table
The assembled components are assembled in the following way:
1. The frame under the worktop is assembled: the grooves of the elements are connected, the seats of the grooves are fixed with screws with an internal hexagon.
2. On the frame are installed previously prepared legs( with cruciform cuts).
3. The shelf is cut out, its corners are cut out. To ensure that the plate is firmly seated, one metal dowel is placed on the legs from the inside( approximately 22 cm from the bottom of the leg).
4. Side( sliding) supports are assembled: boards are fixed in the slots on the bar, fixed with screws with an internal hexagon.
5. The step, rails and table top are painted. Preliminarily it is recommended to polish the countertop and primetrovat tree.
6. An internal jumper for the shelf is assembled. The side bar is screwed to the main beam. On the shelf holes are drilled to fix the support rails, it is important to follow the smoothness of their location.
7. The base of the jumper is screwed to the frame of the table, 3 auxiliary slats are installed.
8. The hinges to the support of the jumper are attached to the extension legs.
9. Three pieces of table top are assembled: they are also connected with loops.
10. The table top is screwed to the frame.
At this stage, the folding table made of wood will be completely ready.
The accompanying drawings of the folding table will help you to thoroughly study and properly assemble the product. It is important to take into account that the processing of materials must be carried out immediately before the connection. After the coating will not be so effective, and some areas simply will not work.
Nuances of the
work. To make the folding table for the dacha really practical, it is worth considering the size of the stools that will complement the dining group. In particular, folding chairs can be compactly stored on the inner stand. Therefore, if necessary, the specified parameters of materials and the folding table itself can be changed. The assembly diagram can remain the same.
For high-quality work, it is recommended that you carefully study the attached lessons, read the training videos. When assembling, you should use a tape measure and carefully measure the points required to fasten the elements.
