An ideal solution for the garden is an ordinary classic table for a picnic with a bench.
In order to build a picnic table with your own hand, it will require boards in size 15 x 2.5 cm. It is necessary to pre -calculate the footage necessary for the construction of the table. The sizes of the boards need to be calculated taking into account how long the table should be.
We make a picnic table
First you need to build the legs for the table, drinking the ends of the board at an angle of 22º after determining the height of the table. Then the legs need to be connected by the upper bar from the board, which then will become a support for the countertop. The length of the connecting strips is also determined in advance taking into account the width of the future table.
After that, the height of the benches is determined, then the crossbars are installed, attaching to the legs of the table. The length of the bar depends on the width of the bench, in two or three boards. The calculation must be carried out from the edge of the leg, where the bar for the bench is attached. In order for the table to be more spectacular, the ends of the boards need to be cut at an angle of 45º.
After the bar for countertops and benches are fixed on the legs, a countertop and benches from the boards are installed so that their edges are approximately 150 mm. When constructing a long table in the middle of the countertop and shops from the bottom is installed for the stiffness of the bar. By building a picnic table, you can open it with varnish.
It is necessary to collect the table in the following sequence:
– First, two legs are screwed to the crossbar, which is located horizontally, which will create the basis of the table. The ends of the crossbars and legs should be cut at the right angle;
– The crossbars on which the bench is attached must be sawn down and attached to the bolts across the legs at an altitude of about 450 venues of soil level;
– Then the table housing is assembled, screwing benches to the crossbars. Now the body of the future table can hold on its own;
– After this, the boards of the countertops can be screwed to the legs, leaving a gap of 10-20 mm.
We pay attention that all parts should be cleaned with sandpaper, since it is very easy to get a splinter if this point is neglected. At a minimum, it is necessary to treat all rough sandpaper. Separately walk through the ribs: they need to be slightly slightly, but twist. For the convenience of processing, sandpaper can wrap a tree block or use a similar tool in the form of a bar with a handle and clamps. After processing with rough sandpaper, you can additionally undergo a “nulevka” – sandpaper with a minimum grain size.
After assembly, all parts must be treated with an antiseptic, otherwise you will get a table very quickly unsuitable for use.
