Small patio tables often incorporate all-weather materials like wicker or wrought iron. Some come with glass tops, while most will require a cover to protect both table surface and chair frame from moisture accumulation.
Kleinworthco recently featured this table featuring an eye-catching herringbone pattern created from multiple wood pieces cut at different angles, featuring an integrated cooler. Additionally, this table offers plenty of storage capacity with its convenient base unit that houses it.
Ana-White Dining Table
Ana White created this easy farmhouse table designed for four that seats comfortably outdoors. Her build process is very straightforward with step-by-step diagrams and instructions included to make this an achievable DIY project. She used pressure-treated pine and cedar planks that should stand up well against all weather conditions.
She used a pocket hole jig and screws for this table, though nails would work just as well for outdoor settings. If you want to switch up its appearance, she suggests staining planks darker colors such as Minwax Red Oak stain with light sanding between each coat for evenness of finish.
To create the base for this table, you will require five feet of iron pipe, available at most home improvement stores’ plumbing aisle. In addition, some 1x 2 lumber will need to be braced while you will require 1 x 4 inch boards as support rails and top boards.
To assemble the top, center it over the base and leave a gap for water drainage if desired. She recommends attaching it using exterior-grade screws (about 2″ long), rather than nails which will eventually pull loose over time in an outdoor environment. You could even switch out some 1×12 boards for 1×6 cedar deck boards for added durability.
