DIY Patio Table or End Table
I purchased the wood a Menards for $.29cents a board. One table takes about 4-5 boards, depending on the size of table you would like.
What tools did I use:
Jigsaw
Brad Nailer (alot faster/easier)
Tape Measure
Paint
and alot of creativity!
Legs 19in
Sides 16in
Top 17 1/2in
I made 2 different tables. I think the table with the spaces in between (above) would be perfect for a patio or deck. And the solid look (below) inside your home.
I used paint that I had left over from other projects.
I sanded the edges and wiped on/off wood stain to give them the rustic look. But is rustic isn't your thang, then solid would be cute too.
Let em dry and nail into place!
Very easy and cheap project, but very time consuming!
I am loving these tables especially with the spaces in between:))) Pinned!!
