How pleasant it is to spend your free time in the evening with your relatives on the street. If you already have a gazebo, then that's great. Even better, if you have already made a barbecue or barbecue, which will allow you to eat delicious and nutritious food. However, the improvement of the gazebo plays an important role. The main element of any gazebo at their summer cottage is furniture. It should be so comfortable and practical that you and your friends can have a good time there. Although a great variety is not expected here, nevertheless, a lot of effort can be made to ensure that it is beautiful. Of course, the easiest option is to buy ready-made furniture. But if you want to save money and show your creativity, then you can do it yourself. In this article we will tell you how to make furniture for the gazebo with your own hands. At the same time, we will tell you about the requirements for it.
What should be the furniture
The most minimal set of furniture is a table and a bench. This is by standard. However, if you have a barbecue, barbecue and the like near the gazebo, then you need to add a wardrobe, a cutting table, chairs, a hammock and even a deck chair to these basic elements. This is all necessary if you plan to organize a relatively large recreation area.
First of all, the furniture should be:
- comfortable;
- practical in care;
- resistant to mechanical damage;
- match the general style of the interior;
- compact;
- if necessary, portable or collapsible.
These are the basic requirements that apply to gazebo furniture. So, let's take a closer look at one or another feature of garden furniture for a gazebo. Perhaps a chair / bench or table will be portable or built-in. It is entirely up to you to decide. Plus, it can be made from different materials. If, then to achieve harmony, the furniture is also made of wood. If the frame of the building is made of metal, then let the furniture be made of metal. That is, as you can see, the material for furniture is largely determined by the material used in the construction of the gazebo.
As for the benches, their width should be such that the person sitting on it feels comfortable. Usually the width of the bench fluctuates around 400-600 mm. As an exception, those cases if your family has relatives with overweight. In addition to width, benches or chairs can take on a variety of shapes. So, if the gazebo is hexagonal, then the table can have the same shape. A hexagonal bench is also made around the table. As an option, make the table round or oval. So, there are many options for what form to choose a table and chairs with benches for the veranda and gazebo.
What to make furniture
Wooden furniture for the gazebo is very popular. However, there are other options. Speaking specifically for the tree, it has such positive aspects, including comfort, durability and environmental friendliness. Also, the furniture can be made of rattan. Although this material is expensive, it is completely natural. The manufacturing process of rattan furniture is very difficult. The rods should be processed. They must be attached to a metal frame. The finished product is treated with varnish and wax.
Also furniture can be made of plastic. Mostly this is ready-made furniture, which is presented on the modern market in a variety of colors, shapes and designs. As for metal furniture, you can also buy it ready-made or make it yourself. This material has a number of positive aspects, including durability, high strength, with proper processing, they do not corrode from moisture, and the like. But there are also disadvantages. Such furniture has a lot of weight and high cost.
Note! Regardless of the material chosen, the main requirement is that the furniture is durable and can be used in the gazebo and porch.
Furniture manufacturing
As already mentioned, furniture can be made from different materials. You will not find special requirements and rules. Moreover, you can combine some materials or use unusual ones. For example, you can make a table in a combination of brick and wood and the like. But the advantage is always given to the tree. And this is not surprising, because wood is an environmentally friendly material. To work, you need not so many tools, but in particular:
- Hacksaw.
- A hammer.
- Chisel.
- Ax and other carpentry tools.
Consider an example of making a hexagonal table top. To do this, it is necessary to prepare 11 boards of different lengths: 2 - 1200 mm, 8 - 1400 mm and 1 - 1500 mm. The countertop will be made from this material. Lay the boards out on a flat, level surface. On top of them lay out a frame of bars. Everything must be fastened with screws or nails. Next, cut out the desired shape with a hacksaw. Three or four legs can be used for the table. The main thing is that it is stable. After finishing work, it is necessary to treat the countertop with varnish in several layers.
Now let's look at how to make a bench for a gazebo or veranda. The bench can be made from high-quality lumber, and from improvised. The location of the shops can be different. For example, on both sides of the table, if it has a square or rectangular shape. Also, benches can be around the entire inner perimeter of the future gazebo. If you have an open gazebo or porch, then the benches can be portable. In any case, benches and benches should be installed so that it is easy to reach the table. Plus, the length of the bench should match the size of the countertop.
To make a bench, you need 4 legs and a wooden seat. Alternatively, a bench can be made from a log. For example, put a log and cut out the shape of the seats in it. It will look very original. In addition, boards can be nailed to the log, which will form a wooden seat. As for the table, you can also add that they can be folding.
Original solutions for gazebos
A wooden box is also considered an original solution. They can also be made by hand. At the same time, from such boxes you can make shelves, tables, chairs, all in the same style. You only need to connect your imagination. With all this, the boxes can be painted in different colors. You can put soft pillows on the seats, stuff plywood on the countertop and the like.
You can also use old car tires. Paint the tire the desired color. Plywood can be attached to the tire. On the reverse side are fixed small legs or wheels. In addition, a dense rope can be stretched many times in the tire. A kind of hammock and seat will turn out.
If your gazebo is built of brick, then the legs of the table and future benches can be laid out of brick. Be sure that such furniture will serve you for many years. The only thing that is needed is to think over its correct dimensions. To build such a table, you need to perform the following work:
- A small foundation must be poured under the future table. To do this, dig a small hole, pour crushed stone and sand on the bottom, ram it, and fill everything with concrete. For greater strength, you can strengthen the screed with reinforcement.
- After that, you can lay out four legs of brick. To do this, use 2 bricks in one row. Be sure to lay each subsequent row perpendicular to the previous one so that there is a good strapping.
- The height of the legs should be determined based on what will serve as a countertop. Here you can use a wooden countertop or make a wooden mold and pour it with concrete. After that, the surface of the table is lined with porcelain tiles or other material.
Of course, such furniture will serve you for more than one year, or even several decades.
So, as you can see, there are many original ideas. Each of them has its own characteristics. You should choose the option that is the most affordable for you. The main thing to remember is that the furniture you make is comfortable and reliable. Well, do not forget about the beauty. In this article you can find photo furniture in the gazebo with your own hands. Of course, for the implementation of an idea, desire is necessary.
Conclusion
So, as we have seen, today there are many original ideas on how to make wood furniture with your own hands. Plus, we saw a lot of unusual ideas that require imagination. In any case, before choosing in the direction of one or another type of furniture, it is necessary to decide on important parameters. For example, what kind of furniture should be, portable or stationary? What material will it be made from? Will she be comfortable to sit on? If this is a table, will all members of your family and possible guests fit behind it? To a greater extent, the answers to these questions will help you understand what your furniture should be.
What city dweller does not dream of getting away from all the everyday hustle and bustle into nature? There are probably few of them. Such a rest is especially good on warm summer evenings in the fresh air. And for this it is not at all necessary to travel outside the city, such a vacation can be spent on your own site, in the gazebo.
Often the gazebo serves not just as a place to gather a company of friends and relatives, but also as a summer kitchen. In this case, a wooden gazebo table is a must. Therefore, the article will consider the issue of its independent production.
What do you need to work
Tables for gazebos made of wood can have different shapes and ways of execution.. However, work on their manufacture, like any other, requires some tools and material.
The right tool
To work, you will need the following basic tools:
- Roulette;
- A simple pencil or marker;
- Hacksaw or chainsaw;
- Drill with adjustable speed or screwdriver;
- Easy level;
- Some protective gear, such as gloves, plastic goggles, and others.
Of course, other tools may be needed in the process.
Required material
From the materials you will need the following:
- Boards of different sizes;
- Nails, wood screws, bolts;
- Glue for wood.
If you plan to make a purely wooden table in the gazebo, then the boards can have the following average dimensions;
- 90 * 10 * 2.5 cm - 2 boards;
- 170 * 10 * 2.5 cm - only 4 pieces;
- 100 * 10 * 2.5 cm - only 17 pieces;
- 160 * 10 * 2.5 cm - only 2 boards;
- 75 * 10 * 5 - 4 such boards.
Advice!
The choice of material, or rather its size, should be carried out on the basis of the dimensions of the table itself, it turned out to be proportional to its dimensions and could fit a sufficient number of people.
Direct Assembly
So, a do-it-yourself table device can be described in several stages:
- Frame assembly;
- Strengthening the frame;
- Fastening the boards of the tabletop;
- Leg attachment.
Before direct assembly, all elements should be impregnated with special compounds that will help keep the wood from insects, as well as the decay process. In addition, not only such compounds that are called antiseptics, but also those that are called flame retardants can be used. They are designed to protect wood from open fire.
All wooden tables for the gazebo and not only begin to be assembled from the frame.
The frame will consist of 4 longitudinal boards and two end boards. As longitudinal boards, those that have a size of 170 * 10 * 2.5 are used. They are placed on the edge through an equal distance. In total, the distance between the two extreme boards should be 90 cm.
To fix these boards together, others are attached to them from the ends, which have dimensions of 90 * 10 * 2.5 cm. Thus, having fastened all the elements with self-tapping screws or nails, the frame will be completely mounted.
Now you need to strengthen the frame a little so that the table for the gazebo made of wood is durable and has a beautiful appearance. For this purpose, other elements with dimensions of 160 * 10 * 2.5 are attached to the extreme boards of the frame. They are nailed to the side, in the center.
After attaching them, exactly 5 cm will remain on each side of the extreme boards, that is, just for the legs.
Next, you need to sheathe the boards to get a countertop. It is not difficult to calculate that if the boards are 170 cm long, then for sheathing them with other boards 10 cm wide, exactly 17 pieces will be required. However, to make the tabletop wider and hide the legs a little, take 18 of these elements.
All elements of the countertop can also be fastened with screws or nails.
I must say that self-tapping screws for a wood thickness of 2.5 cm must have a length of at least 40 mm, and nails of at least 50 mm.
For countertops, elements with dimensions of 95 * 10 * 2.5 are used. This means that all boards are fixed with a 50 mm extension beyond the extreme frame bar.
After making the countertop, the instruction involves installing the legs. They are attached to the formed recesses in the frame.
Advice!
To make the legs removable, they should be fastened with bolts, for which holes of appropriate sizes are drilled in the frame and the legs themselves.

A gazebo without furniture is like cheese without milk and sausage without meat. It is of no use in this performance. You won’t rest in it after a hard day’s work and you won’t arrange gatherings with friends. That is why the arrangement of the gazebo should be taken seriously. If you want to save money at the same time, then in principle you can always make furniture for the gazebo with your own hands. How to implement it? This will be discussed in the article.
How garden chairs and a table in the gazebo will look depends largely on how the constructed structure looks like, namely, we are talking about the materials from which it is made and its configuration. So, the furniture can be:
- Portable or built-in. It is up to you to make built-in furniture during the construction of the gazebo or after the completion of this process. You can also make a built-in table with portable chairs / benches or vice versa. It all depends on your preferences. If you decide to install built-in furniture, then you should take into account the fact that the distance between the table and the bench should be within 5–10 cm.
- From different materials. For example, if the gazebo is wooden, then in order to achieve harmony, tables with chairs made of wood should also be made. And if the frame of the building is made of metal, then the base of the table with chairs should be appropriate.
- With different widths of benches. A person with normal weight will feel comfortable on a bench 40-60 cm wide. If you and your family members do not have problems with being overweight, then benches of this width can be made. Well, if the situation is different, then it is better to add a few centimeters to the proposed width.
- Various configuration. If you have a hexagonal gazebo, then the best option for arranging it would be a six- or octagonal table. Another option is to make the table round. In a rectangular gazebo, it is better to install a rectangular or oval table. That is, the table according to the configuration should correspond as much as possible to the shape of the gazebo.
The table is the essential item in the gazebo. Of course, you can purchase a plastic table, which is of low cost, but it is much more pleasant to make this design yourself. You will be able to make high quality furniture, at an affordable price and in accordance with the design you like.
Before you make a table / chairs for the gazebo, you should purchase the appropriate building materials. The easiest way is to take a large log, cut it in half horizontally, process it with a planer and install it on the corresponding leg. But this solution may not be practical. Therefore, we suggest you build a table from boards and beams. The result is a strong and stable structure.
All measurements and preparation of parts must be done very carefully. It is better to make a table from expensive high-quality wood. Before you start buying and cutting wooden elements, draw a drawing of the table on paper. Put dimensions on it, which will allow you to calculate the amount of material with maximum accuracy.
First, make a countertop. Alternatively, assemble it from boards or use a ready-made furniture board. The optimal size of boards for the manufacture of countertops is 75 × 25 mm. To prevent loosening of the tabletop, attach several guide bars to it from the back. The easiest way to fix them with self-tapping screws.
If you arrange the guides diagonally, then you will have the opportunity to make a drawer in the table. It will be possible to store various little things in it.
So, to make a box under the tabletop in the middle of the long edge of the table, fix 2 beams with a section of 50 × 50 mm. The distance between the bars should be 30 cm. On the inside of the bars, fix 2 planks. They will serve as guides for the drawer. It's time to make a box of the appropriate width, that is, equal to 30 cm. Stuff the same 2 slats on the sides of the box and the slats corresponding to its width in front and behind. Place the drawer under the countertop.
If the table is mobile, then all you need to complete its manufacture is to install 4 strong legs. But, in cases where the table is built-in, to install it, you must first install the foundation. It can be concrete or brick. A simpler solution is to make stable strong legs, dig them in and concrete them.
The frame of the table should be 15–30 cm smaller than the tabletop. This must be taken into account when installing the legs.
If massive beams were chosen as the legs for the built-in table, then before installing them in the recesses, the wood should be treated with a special protective composition against decay. Then install them, check the verticality, fix and fill the solution. For the table to be stable, you need to wait a few days for the concrete to harden.
The optimal height of the table is 75–80 cm. This means that the height of the legs depends on the thickness of the tabletop.
Before screwing the screws and installing the mounting brackets, lubricate the attachment points with an adhesive, for example, PVA with fine sawdust.
Next, attach the tabletop to the legs. Sand the table and apply an antiseptic on it, and then a fire retardant. After the table has dried, you can open it with varnish or paint it. Apply paintwork in several layers. The structure is ready.
The gazebo can be equipped not only with benches, but also with chairs or sofas. You can make any of the listed seating products from the remains after construction. For example, a seat and a back can be built from the remains of a tree, and a chair / bench support from a stone.
Benches can be installed on both sides of the tabletop. In this case, they must correspond to the length of the table. They can also be installed along the perimeter, so that all vacationers can see each other in the process of communication.
For convenience, the table can be made folding or not installed at all. So, to make a bench without a back, you will need:
- wooden seat;
- 4 legs;
- fixture.
Such a simple bench can be made in just a few hours. To make it, you just need to connect a wooden seat with legs. The principle of operation here is the same as in the manufacture of a table with legs from a bar.
To make a wooden folding chair you will need:
- screwdriver / drill;
- plane;
- jigsaw;
- chisel;
- grinder;
- cutters for grooves;
- drills for making holes of various diameters;
- wood screws, having a length of 7 cm and a diameter of 8–10 mm;
- varnish/paint.
Beam with a section of 25 × 40:
- for a long leg - 91 cm long, 2 pcs.;
- for a short leg - 55.7 cm long, 2 pcs.;
- for sitting - 31.5 cm long, 2 pcs.;
- 34 cm long, 6 pieces;
- for the back - 42 cm long, 1 piece;
- for jumper - 34 cm, 1 pc.
Jumper with a diameter of 18 mm, length 34 cm - 3 pcs.
- card loop for attaching to the back leg of the chair and the bottom of the seat - 2 pcs.;
- bolts Ø=8 mm, length 70 mm - 2 pcs.;
- washers for Ø=8 mm - 6 pcs.;
- furniture dowels Ø=10 mm, length 50 mm - 2 pcs.;
- cap nuts - 4 pcs.;
- waterproof glue for woodworking;
- hairpin Ø=8 mm, length 470 mm with double-sided thread.
First of all, make a plan of action and draw a drawing. Cut out pieces according to size. They need to drill holes and make grooves with a cutter. Build the connections in this order:
- On the support bar, insert the slats into the groove with a spike.
- Glue the details.
- Insert furniture dowels into the holes at the ends of the seat, having a depth of 30 mm.
In the next step, assemble the chair frame:
- To the racks you need to fix the back with glue, and on their lower side - the crossbar.
- The seat dowels should be inserted into the guide grooves on the legs.
- Install the stud under the seat by screwing M8 cap nuts on both sides of it.
- Glue the cross bars into the back leg.
- Bolt the front and back legs together to make a folding chair.
- Now you should screw the seat to the rear legs. This can be done using ombre loops.
Finally, the chair or chairs, if you have collected several, should be painted with protective agents.
The manufacturing technology of a folding chair was given above and, perhaps, not everyone will master it. And it will take a lot of time to make several of these folding chairs. Therefore, now we will consider simpler methods for making furniture for the gazebo.
One way is to use saw cuts of large trees. You need to cut the trunk from both sides to fix the bench from the tree. On two large saw cuts, you can install a massive countertop, which is also easy to make. Connecting the tabletop to the base is very simple. Next, you will need to process the tree and install the entire structure in the gazebo. The photo shows how simple this design is.
If you need less massive benches, then saw the trunk lengthwise into 2 parts. Make a notch in it from the bottom side for installation on saw cuts of a smaller diameter. Lay the trunk on the "legs" in the gazebo and process the wood.
Do you only have stumps at your disposal? Do not be discouraged, it will be quite possible to decorate your original gazebo with furniture from them. Small stumps will be used as chairs, and a large stump will be used for the base of the table. The photo shows a tabletop in the form of a cut of a large saw cut, but if you don’t find one, then it can be made from a wooden shield, cutting it out, for example, in a rounded shape.
The built-in table in the gazebo can be built from brick, possibly left over from construction. This design will serve you faithfully for many years.
To make this table, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions:
- First of all, strengthen the base for setting the table. Dig a small hole, fill the bottom with rubble and level it. Lay a waterproofing layer on it. Then fill the base with concrete.
- Now make a square table base. Dimensions: 2-3 bricks in length and 6-8 in height.
- Place a table top on this base. It can be a wooden shield or a stone blank. It all depends on your financial capabilities.
A simple wooden table won't take you long to make, but will last a long time. Approximate dimensions are shown in the photo.
Manufacturing sequence:
- Make a drawing. Prepare tools/materials.
- Supports can have different shapes, but, as a rule, X-shaped legs are used. To make them, fix 2 bars in the center at an angle of 45º. For reliability, they should be strengthened from above with additional slats.
- X-shaped legs should be connected with two bars, which are installed parallel to each other and correspond to the length of the table.
- The tabletop can be made from 5-7 boards. Install it on prepared supports. Use furniture corners as fasteners.
Upon completion of all work, treat the table with paints and varnishes.

The sequence of manufacturing garden furniture for the gazebo:
A photo
This selection of photos will help you decide on the choice of furniture for the gazebo:
Scheme
The schemes we have proposed will help you make furniture for the gazebo with your own hands:
It is such a building on a personal plot or in a garden where you can relax with the whole family and invite friends.
But the arrangement is not only in giving an aesthetic appearance to the building itself.
It is important to organize the interior space.
The role of the gazebo in the design of the cottage
The gazebo has a special role in the design of the cottage. In addition to its functional purpose, it should be in harmony not only with the surrounding buildings, but also with the landscape of the site.
It is good if all the facades of buildings on the plot, including the gazebo, are finished with one material. Gazebos look interesting, the roof of which is an exact copy of the roof of the house.
But even such a room is unthinkable without internal content, the main element of which is the table.
A good table can be made with your own hands
You do not have to buy a ready-made table for the gazebo, because you can make it yourself.
This option is preferred. As a result, you will receive such a piece of furniture that you not only need, but also ideally fits in size and shape.
This does not require extensive experience in construction work and special tools. Simple skills and a small set of tools are enough.
Wood is the best choice for making a table. Its main advantage is a long service life, external attractiveness and naturalness.
Such a table will become a worthy element of the overall design of the cottage.
Creating a project and drawing
At this stage, it is necessary to create a detailed drawing of the future table.
Self-tapping screws and fasteners made of stainless steel can be used as fasteners. Be sure to use impregnation for wood, which will protect the table from rotting and fungus.
Development of a 3d drawing of a garden table in AutoCad.
Instruction step by step
You can make a garden table with your own hands by following this master class.
It is necessary to prepare all tools and materials for work in advance. At the preparatory stage, the wooden surface is treated and the boards are selected by thickness.
Then four boards measuring 15x70 cm are laid in a row and connected with thin wooden planks. And the end parts are closed on both sides with boards measuring 15x60 cm, which are fixed with special metal plates.
Thus, a smooth wooden surface is obtained.
Rectangular top rail box
To prepare the top trim, make a box. To do this, you can use boards measuring 10x91 and 10x46 cm. First you need to make a rectangular base from long boards.
After that, stiffeners are installed on its surface, fixing them with self-tapping screws. It is important to install them at an equal distance.
Carrier box
Preparing the bottom frame
It consists of 2 parts, made in the form of the letter "P". They are fastened together with a long wooden plank. U-shaped elements are represented by two legs connected to each other by a bar.
Each support leg is made of four bars 4x4 cm in size. After the manufacture of both parts, they are fastened together with a bar, the length of which is 10x99 cm.
To make it more comfortable, turn the table top over and lay it on the ground. Do the same with the frame.
As fasteners, metal corners and self-tapping screws are suitable, which provide a reliable connection of structural elements.
Connecting the tabletop to the frame
We process surfaces
All wooden surfaces must be carefully treated with a special protective compound.
It will provide reliable protection against moisture and insects.
Impregnation with varnish
Wooden table
Wood is the most environmentally friendly and pliable material.
Wooden garden table can be round, square or rectangular. Irregular models are also popular.
If you plan to make it yourself, the countertop may consist of narrow boards or slats.
A table made of wooden cuts also looks good, which can be done in several ways:
- connect saw cuts with each other with tongue and groove or staples, forming a flat surface;
- fix saw cuts on any basis.
The finished surface is sanded and varnished. The gaps between the boards can be covered with epoxy.
Sand the finished product and cover it with a protective compound.
To give the surface the desired shade, you can use stain or a special impregnation with pigment. Such a piece of furniture can be placed not only in the gazebo, but also in an open space in the garden.
For more information on how to make a table for a wooden gazebo, see the video:
As a basis - pallets
Designers actively use wooden pallets to create furniture. This technique allows you to create an original stylistic solution.
Existing ideas can be used to implement the following solutions:
- stand models;
- on wheels;
- with lid;
- with glass top.
It is not necessary to buy a ready-made table. You can also make your own using pallets.
Such tables themselves are not difficult to manufacture. To do this, you first need to find or buy a pallet. It can be found in one of the large hardware stores. Then you need to saw off a part that is suitable in size and screw the wheels to it.
On top you can put a panel of MDF or glass. They can also be bought at one of the hardware stores. The finished table must be treated with impregnation.
If you want to change its color, use a suitable shade of stain. This completes the manufacture of a table from a pallet.
Such a piece of furniture will organically look not only in the gazebo, but also in the open air on the backyard. And the design, supplemented by wheels, is mobile and inexpensive.
From improvised materials
Many designers use any available materials to make a table. Such a piece of furniture allows not only to decorate the interior of a house or apartment, but will also look organically on a personal plot, in a gazebo or garden.
Ordinary stumps decorated with mosaics look original. Larger stumps can be used in a quality original table. And smaller stumps are suitable for use as unusual stools.
Any tile left after repair is suitable for decoration. It is split into small pieces, which are attached to the surface with cement mortar or tile adhesive.
Originality lies in your creativity. Such designs often turn into a real work of art.
Table top in mosaic
