Diy Patio Side Table
Hi all! Today I want to share a diy patio side table that I made from a curbside rescue, and some fence pickets for the table top. I had found this small metal table frame on the curb several years back and had been meaning to make a top for it and just keep putting it off.
The day finally came where I pulled it out and started out by scrubbing the metal frame then washing it down before spaying with black spray paint.
Next, I went to making the diy patio side table top out of fence pickets. I had to use three pieces of wood that were 6” wide and one at 3 ½” wide, all cut at 26” in length using a miter saw.
Then I used my cordless sander to sand the wood down smooth enough so that I could add a stencil.
To hold the table top together and in place I cut two pieces of 1 ½”x ¾” wood 18” in length. This will fit down inside of the metal frame to keep the top from moving around.
The wood strips were glued down where I needed them to be to hold the top in place.
Once dry I flipped the top over marked the spot with a line and predrilled the holes, then add some wood screws to secure the wooden top.
Using grey chalk paint and water I add a grey wash to the side table top.
Once dry the stencil was added using three different colors of chalk paint.
Lastly, I added three coats of Mod Podge to seal and protect the diy patio side table.
Enjoyed the project?
