A variety of items that do not find use in everyday life can be used to create garden furniture. In this case it does not matter at all whether such furniture has a certain style or maximum convenience. The main thing that everything looked good and useful during the rest.

The most simple means you can decorate most of the furniture. The main thing in this business is to show interest and a few creative skills so that you can look at your craft without shame.

Key features and benefits of garden furniture

When it comes to garden furniture, first of all, chairs and tables made with their own hands are meant. Indeed, there is no sense in purchasing expensive garden furniture from wood and other materials, if you can create something very good yourself.

Among the materials that will be needed in this case, there will be wood, fabric, as well as plastic. Especially in appreciated wooden garden furniture. Due to the properties of wood, it is easy to create a chic element of garden furniture without much time and effort.

Creation of chairs and tables from logs

Chairs and tables are the main elements of garden furniture that you can make by yourself. Definitely, for this we need a huge log. If a tree is withered at a certain point in your site, it is best not to make a stump immediately, but to create a comfortable garden chair. Practically for all manipulations we will need an ax.

1. The tree trunk must be at a level of one and a half meters.
2. Next, we have to cut out the excess part of the trunk so that a comfortable back rest remains. This element should be slightly tilted back, otherwise it will be completely inconvenient to sit.
3. After all successful actions, it is necessary to process the surfaces to ensure that there are no splinters or other protruding elements. For this, sandpaper can be used. It will be much easier to organize all this if you have a chainsaw handy. At the same time, it is possible and at all to cut down our future chair and place it in any convenient place. Of course, for the room it does not fit - it weighs a lot, and the appearance is not the most chic.

Creating a table is also extremely simple and straightforward.

In this case, the tree trunk should also be at the level of one meter, and the top of the table will already be placed on top. To make the lid harmonize with the overall view of the table, it is best to do it yourself. It's extremely easy to make out of knocked down boards. Excellent assistant, again, will be a chainsaw. All fastenings are made with the help of nails and screws. If in the future the table is planned to be used for meals, it is best to treat the surface of the cover with emery. Ideally, it is better and at all to cover it with varnish, which for many years will protect the wood from aging and precipitation.

If the place of tables and chairs from the trunks of the trees is constantly collected dirt, especially after rainfall, it is best to pour the area around the gravel. Then even after a shower it will be possible to enjoy rest on your favorite chair from a log.

Creating tables and chairs and thin logs

Obviously, massive logs are very rare. Where it is easier to find thin logs, from which you can also make garden furniture with your own hands. It will not look quite presentable, but using a little knowledge, you can create a huge table for which the whole family can fit. The most massive logs should be dug into the ground - they will act as the legs of the future table. It is best to combine several logs so that the stability of our garden furniture is maximized. The cover of the table is knocked off from various boards, and on the sides the edging is also made of small but long logs.

Bench of logs of different sizes

Many drawings of garden furniture look quite serious, and even the most simple moments of them are incredibly difficult to realize. A bench of logs is created as soon as possible. Despite the low aesthetic qualities of such furniture, rest on it is insanely nice and comfortable. The most important moment in this situation is the presence of a massive log. If it's long, then it's just fine.

1. We cut it across into two equal parts, and cut one of the resulting parts along. It will be a backrest and a seat.
2. The second part of the log will need to be cut across. These two parts will act as supports. Also here are useful and two boards that will hold the back of the bench.
3. All fastenings here should be made with the help of massive nails. However, in the legs you can make a small furrow, in which the ideal log will go, on which the gardeners will sit.

Creating a garden chaise longue with your own hands

Gardeners with "golden hands" can try to create a really chic chaise longue, which will be an excellent way to relax. It will take a long time to create it, but the result will be just phenomenal. To create a chaise lounge we will need:

• fasteners( nails, nuts and bolts);
• glue PVA;
• birch, beech and oak rails with different sections( rectangular, round);
• tarpaulin or any other durable material( about 2 meters in length and 50 cm in width);

Much here depends on the dimensions of the chaise longue that you want to get in the end. For the average person, the following dimensions of the bars are suitable: 2 pieces of 100 cm, 2 pieces of 62 cm, 2 pieces of 120 cm, 2 pieces of 55 cm, 2 pieces of 60 cm and one bar - 62 cm. The cross section should be within 2see

All rails must be qualitatively ground. Next, you need to do on each bar the required number of holes with a diameter of 8 mm. The drawing shows how to create this garden furniture with your own hands. The most important is attentiveness.

1. On the two largest bars, there must be special serifs - for adjusting the inclination of the backrest of the deckchair.
2. On square rails, it is necessary to make holes of 2 cm each.
3. we install round bars on them and put them on PVA glue.
4. Dry it all should for a whole day.
5. After that we have a complete assembly of all the parts of the deckchair. In the round rails, the tarpaulin is pre-filled, but you can do this even after assembling the whole structure, but it will not be easy to stretch the tarpaulin directly on the deckchair.

For making garden furniture with your own hands, it's best to use oak. This material is extremely resistant to rain and is able to easily cope with any stresses. Separately, to buy boards and logs from oak is better not necessary. It is ideal to take advantage of available resources.

Creating a garden table based on brick

On many photos, garden furniture with their own hands is also made from natural resources. If you have a few bricks left after repairing or creating a private house - it's best to use it to create a gorgeous garden table. Brick in this case will act as a basis. Obviously, wood is an indispensable material for making the table cover.

The foundation must not consist of a "brick turret".It is important to equip a small foundation on which our future table will be based. The foundation will also consist of bricks located around the perimeter of the "recreation area".As in the construction, it is the cement mortar that will strengthen the brick component of the table. The base itself should be in the center of the table. Otherwise, their unfortunate location may be extremely uncomfortable during a rest at the table.

The foundation, as in the case with the creation of a wooden table, is also created from the knocked down planks. After the arrangement, it is necessary to treat the surface with sandpaper and varnish or paint.

Creating table boards

Plastic garden furniture will never replace wood that has such important aspects of quality and reliability. Create a garden table of boards is incredibly simple. Supports of such a table can be just like the legs of a kitchen table, but it is best to make them X-shaped. To do this you will need bars 100x100 mm. In order for all this to be fixed, it is necessary to make a special cutout in one of the bars, as in the image. Before using the table, it is best to check their stability, since wood is sometimes extremely unpredictable. To create the base, we need 6 blocks 50x100 mm. For fixing, special glue or screws can be used. The latter is preferable. The video below shows how to create such garden furniture with your own hands.

Conclusion

Despite the overall simplicity, it is such wonderful chairs and tables that will not replace the plastic garden furniture, which is filled with all building supermarkets. Incredible practicality often prevails and this case is no exception. Of course, there is also metal garden furniture, but its value is unlikely to please those who are not willing to spend on the usual elements of convenience of a thousand rubles. It is better to once again use improvised materials and create exactly what you want.
