Then you can not worry that due to weather phenomena it will quickly become unusable.

Portable can be assembled from improvised materials literally for a season: for example, to make a hammock from a dense material, or a table in haste from unprocessed logs.

You can vary the furniture of the country and completely purchased structures: sun loungers, plastic chairs and canopies.

Homemade garden furniture is often made of wood, because this is the material in the country most.

You can make benches from the boards, and from the remaining logs you can assemble the kitchen table. Stumps and logs, which may be on your site, will also be suitable.

Just do not forget that before making furniture, the wood needs to be dried well, otherwise cracks may occur.

You can use for dacha and purchased wood - the best for making furniture are linden, pine, maple, beech, larch, birch, walnut or cherry.

Some of these types of trees you can find right on your site or in the nearest forest. If you plan to use objects in the cold season, then choose a tick, it is the most frost-resistant.

When collecting wooden objects, although it's quite simple, use video and drawings - it's necessary that all the parts are of the right size and the objects are stable.

Pallet furniture is also very popular, which is not surprising, considering that it is easier to make a seat from it or a coffee table is simpler - minimal woodworking is sufficient so that it does not leave a splinter.

After this, you can cover the pallet with a cloth or cover with pillows.

Construction for a dacha made of metal is more difficult to implement, becauseto create it you need to have at least minimal skills to work with this material.

In addition, such furniture is absolutely unmobile because of its great weight, although it looks quite attractive.

It is better to use metal elements in the creation of wooden furniture - so you can add to its appearance and at the same time make it easier to work on assembling the structures.

Wicker furniture for the garden also requires some skills if you want to do it yourself.

Types of furniture and design

Design for the kitchen in the country - the most necessary option of furniture.

To ensure that kitchen furniture has served you as long as possible, in addition to assembly, do not forget about processing logs with an antiseptic against parasites and decay processes, especially for furniture that will stand in the open air.

Wooden garden furniture itself is attractive enough, so additional design is not always necessary.

However, there are some elements that will always decorate objects: among them figured carving, painting and varnishing - all this significantly improves the appearance of the wood and makes furniture virtually indistinguishable from the purchased one.

There is another option, when country furniture with its own hands is made up deliberately rough, in a rustic style.

It will be enough to clean it up so that there is not a splinter, it will look very stylish, although very simple.

Pallet constructions

Design of furniture from pallets for a garden can not do without bright soft pillows and fabrics - this is not only an ornament, but also a necessary functional element, because its surface is rather rigid.

For the kitchen, you can build sofas from pallets: to do this, join several pallets together, and then put them on top of the pillow or cover with a cloth - this design can be placed, for example, in a gazebo - then all the guests will fit, or you can leave in the kitchen.

Pallets can produce not only garden furniture, but also beautiful beds - for this it is better to put pallets in two rows and cover with a mattress on top - as a result, the construction will be no worse than from a real tree.

You can also make a bar stand or armchair from pallet - for this you need several pallets, which you need to connect with each other( you can see the photo how it's done).

You can add items from pallet fittings - for example, fasten the legs to the coffee table, then move it will be convenient, and it will suit both for the cottage and for open space.

Do not abandon the use of improvised materials that are in the country: old coils of cables, fittings, castors from furniture, etc., because if you put a little imagination, you can fully use all these items as a decoration and a supplement to garden furniture.

A very popular thing in the country is a thing like a hammock.

Of course, you can buy already ready, but if you have a dacha in the dacha and several standing trees, then you can fully equip the place for a hammock with their own hands.

You can place a table and several armchairs next to you from a tree or pallets, and you will get a wonderful rest zone.

For kitchen from logs or pallets it is possible to build a working area on which you will prepare - it is convenient and economical, and if such furniture quickly becomes worthless, then it will not be a pity to throw it away, because its creation is spent not so much time and effort.

However, it is still better that the garden furniture of logs and pallets should be good enough to be enough for a few seasons - to do this, select the objects you want to make, in the photo, and then watch the video how to make furniture for the dacha.

If your site has stones or slabs, then they can be used as a table or benches - it looks simple and stylish.

Benches made of stone should be covered with pillows or blankets.they will be cold even on the hottest day. It is better to choose in advance a place for such a design, becausemove it will not be easy.

In addition to functionality, garden furniture also performs a decorative function, and in this case it is not so important that it will not be used.

For example, many give a second life to old pots, making them jewelry for the fence.

Do not forget that garden furniture, just like any other, needs care: it needs to be treated and varnished, and also protected from weather.
