Outdoor Console Table- How to Build It in a Couple of Hours
I have an easy outdoor console table build to share with you today. It's so easy and it can be done in a couple of hours. Perfect place for serving food and drinks.
Hi there, I have been so happy that the temperature has been slowly creeping up here in NY. Which means spending lots of time outside. My favorite season is summer and it is so nice to know that it’s just right around the corner, yippee! So when the weather warms up we frequently dine and entertain in the backyard patio, it is one of our favorite pastimes. Last spring we started turning our bare-boned backyard into an inviting outdoor hang-out space. With lots of DIY projects and planting, the backyard is evolving into our little oasis. You can check out our enormous cement planter creation here. Our backyard is somewhat small, so we are always trying to maximize our space. We built this outdoor console table so that we have a place to put food and drinks. This just added another place for serving when we are entertaining. Now if you don’t want to build your own outdoor console table, there are many options out there. Here are some I came across that were really nice.
The granite countertop dictated the size of the console table which is 50″ W X 17″ D, which is perfect for the location. So we measured and cut the wood to make a box.
cut the 4″ X 4″ approximately 6″ inch pieces and attach them to the box. Then placed the fencepost caps under the 4 X 4.
Build another box with the same dimensions as the bottom using the railing system.
Cut the 2 X 4 to the desired height and attach it to the bottom and top box.
Placed 2 X 4 to make a shelf on the bottom to give additional space to place items.
Perfect console table to ground our outdoor mirror
Looking good, using the Loctite adhesive attach the granite countertop.
I hope you enjoyed this project and come back to see it after it gets painted.
