DIY Patio Table!

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.

Click here to see how I distress and stain!


Let em dry and nail into place!


Very easy and cheap project, but very time consuming! 

Give me the goods Monday!

    Wow what an absolute bargain you got the wood for! You did such a great job Im sure it was a bit of work but now you have somewhere to put your drink on when you kick back and relax and admire your handy work. Love the colours too they add a bit of fun :)

    I just saw your blog of the patio tables on the VMG206 blog. Love the idea of the colors and you did a nice tutorial. What a nice patio project that the family can all get involved in.
    I would love it if you would link up with us at my weekly Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week!
