Starting to build

Table layout for giving

Table Top You can make five boards, which are cut to size. They are attached to the bar with screws.

The length of the screws must be such that it can be securely fastened to the plank board to the bar. However, they do not have to go through.

If you use a rabbeted plank on the worktop, the result is a solid plane. The edge of the board can be cut with a jigsaw, and the sides can be processed with a planer. If you use a planed board, it is recommended to leave a gap of 4 mm when assembling the tabletop. It will not interfere, but it will ease the care of him. In this case, it is extremely important that each gap has the same width. To achieve this is very simple. During the assembly between the boards should be laid rail of the necessary width, and as an alternative, you can use the building area. If necessary, the surface and sidewall of the tabletop can be machined with a grinding machine. So you can achieve a perfectly smooth surface.

We manufacture and secure the legs

Fasten the table legs

To prevent this from happening to you, each blank must be completely identical in size to the other. There are options for a garden table on three legs. The standard version is four legs that are attached at every angle. When installing them, you can use bolts or special fasteners that will hold the entire structure. When assembling them, the joints can be coated with white glue, which will additionally protect against rocking.
