| How to build outdoor furniture Posted: 11 Nov 2013 09:17 AM PST 
With the arrival of good weather and taking advantage of that we have spare time, worth dedicating some of our leisure DIY (if we like, clear). Many readers of magazine furniture are fond to the "Do it yourself" and are grateful to give clues about how to make furniture, restoration, recycling… So today I will dedicate the post to give you some guidelines on how to make outdoor furniture.
We can make them with wood treated to make it resist the stay outdoors; with water-proof boards or wooden elements like our old friends the pallets of work. Is enough to have a few tools, eager and imagination.
Furniture that appears in the first photo is a mesa-estanteria for gardening work. Doing so is not difficult: simply screw the four feet of height to a few bars, and then support on the shelves and the countertop. This and the top Board van sheet zinc plated to protect wood from moisture and dirt from the Earth. On these lines, I show you two examples of coffee tables for outside, made with recycled material. The one on the left is a worn wooden crate and the one on the right, an idea with pallets and wheels. I love the blue-stained finish…
The pallets have also been the basis of the construction of this solid, original and decorative set of dining. Although it can also be inside the House, the truth is that I see it more for the garden, the porch or terrace. Blue and white are finishes chosen for wood, and to make the coarse grain look with a little lower paint with water. That Yes, when it is dry I recommend that you apply on the wood a Matt varnish for exterior: thus will last it much longer in good condition. Glass countertop is the final touch for this set, made by you and totally personalized.
