A gazebo table is a necessary element for any dacha. If you like to relax with family and friends, then you can not do without it at the dacha, and you want it to be not only functional, but also beautiful.
If you want to save money, you can make a table for a gazebo with your own hands - there is nothing complicated in this, and it will look no worse than the purchased one.
In the article you will learn about the types of structures, and also get instructions and options for drawings for making tables for gazebo.
All stages of the work are reflected in the photo, which will make the creation of furniture for the dacha with their own hands even easier.

Types of constructions
The shape of the table top for a pergola may be different - it all depends on the size of the gazebo and your desire.
Look at a few photos of gazebos with different types of tables, and choose the one that best suits your gazebo.

The simplest and most frequently used option is rectangular furniture made of wood.
Such furniture for the dacha to make their own hands is easier, in addition, it easily fits into any interior, and if desired, can be decorated with decor elements.
This table is quite roomy - it is designed for 6-8 people, although it all depends on the size you choose.
Stalls are located on both sides of the table, and along the length they usually correspond to it.
A large round table is also a popular option. Usually put in the middle of the arbor and surrounded by benches made of wood.
This table is convenient because if you want it is easy to create an additional seat for sitting with a chair or chair.
Another option for the gazebo is to install benches around the perimeter of the structure, or only on one side. In this case, buy a small folding table, or make a wooden one yourself.
If the type of your pavilion is hexagonal, then the option of placing benches around the perimeter is best suited.
In addition to wood, this furniture can be made of metal.
But if you do not have the appropriate skills and tools, then with your own hands it will not be easy.
Alternatively, you can only use a metal base, and the remaining parts can be cut from a tree.
The main advantage of such tables is durability, becausethey are not exposed to problems of wood: rotting and attacks of parasites.
If you cover metal furniture with anti-corrosion coating, then this design can last almost forever.
Wicker furniture is another stylish option for decorating a gazebo, but, alas, without basic weaving skills, we can not do it by ourselves.
If you do not want to buy finished products, it is better to still choose wooden construction - you can easily make it yourself, and the appearance will be quite attractive.
Look at the possible tables on the photo - they will tell you ideas for its creation and other furniture for the gazebo, as well as the possibilities for its decoration.

Stages of creating a table for a gazebo
First of all you need to draw a drawing of the future design.
To do this you need to know the size of the gazebo itself, and build a table so that there is enough free space in the arbor not only to install benches, but also to move around.
In addition, the drawing should reflect the shape of the table and seats if they are provided.
The width of the bench should be no less than 0.4 meters, and the distance between it and the edge of the table is about 10 cm. The most suitable height for the table is not more than 80 cm.
The round design is suitable only for spacious arbors;takes quite a lot of space.
Drawing will help you to understand what area you have, and, based on this, choose the size and type that your future table for the gazebo will have.
See examples of drawing and calculations for a table for a gazebo in a photo.

After the drawing is ready, you can start working. The easiest way is to collect the table top from the boards, but first you need to think about the base.
It can be made in different ways: it can be one central leg, 3 or 4 legs, or an octagonal design.
The most stable table for gazebo is a four-legged design, so it is recommended to do just that.
For this, you need to fix the guide bars on the back of the structure - they will make it more stable. Secure the material with the help of screws.
The legs can be made from the same boards. Make sure that they turn out to be thick, stable and of equal height, otherwise the construction will stagger.
Look at the drawing, where the dimensions of the parts are reflected so as not to confuse anything.
If the floor is not laid out in the pavilion and it is assumed that the table will be on the ground, then, before fixing the tabletop to the legs, fix them carefully in the ground with a concrete mortar.
If the floor is flat and level, then fixing is not needed, and it is possible to make a portable design - it will be even more convenient.
If it is a round shape, then it's logical to do the same with the table, becausesquare badly fit into space. It is better not to make a table too big, becausethis form already takes up a lot of space.
With your own hands it's easiest to assemble a round structure for a pergola with a support on one leg.
The support should be located exactly in the center, from above brackets or bevels on which the table-top will be fixed will be fixed.
The bevels must be crossed, and the lower should be slightly larger than the top ones.
Correlate the dimensions of the tabletop with the support using the drawing. Remember that the support should not be too thin and small, otherwise the structure will stagger.
It's better to give the countertop a better shape after installing it on a support - it will be more convenient.
With the help of the tool, you just need to cut off excess material, guided by the size measurements that you defined for the design.

If the floor is not lined in the gazebo, then it will be good to use a metal base to create a table and benches.
It can be dug into the ground, and if your gazebo has an open device, you can weld the table legs straight to its frame.
To create a structure with a metal support, you first need to make a frame.
For this you need to use pipes to which the corners are welded with pre-drilled holes - here the screws will be fixed.
If the structure is on four supports, then all of them need to be joined together by welded corners, if the legs are two or three, then they are connected by a strip that is laid on top of welded corners.
Finishing
After the table is ready, it is necessary to treat the wood with a special protective solution against parasites.
Can also be treated with stain or use varnish for staining - all this not only protects your furniture, but also improves its aesthetic properties.
You can decorate the surface with a thread - it can be made on the edges of the countertop or on the surface of benches.
For covering the very tops it is good to use a glass surface - it is stable, and the dishes will not slide and fall.
However, it is important that the glass is thick enough, otherwise it may break or crack.
Look at the photo of how different types of constructions are assembled - in general, many stages are similar and there is nothing in the work that you can not do yourself.
