Build a garden table out of larch

Build a garden table out of larch

You can get garden tables made of larch in every well-stocked garden market or on the Internet. You can also hire a carpentry shop nearby to build such a garden table. You then have an influence on the size and design of the table.

Finished larch garden tables have their price, however. It gets cheaper if you build your garden table from larch yourself. If you have some manual skills, you can save a lot of money with a self-made table.

Larch - the weather-resistant wood

The wood for a garden table must be as weatherproof as possible. After all, the table should be outside, at least during the gardening season, where it is exposed to wind and weather.

For a solid wooden table for the garden, types of wood are selected that do not affect rain, hail and other weather influences so much.

In addition to Douglas fir, larch is therefore often used as wood. Larch has a high resin content so that water cannot penetrate the wood.

Use instructions from the web

If you want to build a larch garden table yourself, first draw up a set of instructions. This allows you to determine the size and shape of the table. You can also find numerous instructions for self-made garden tables on the Internet.

You can download these instructions for little money. Another advantage is that the material lists are included, so you only have to go to and from the hardware store Sawmill need to buy wood and other materials. What you definitely need:

• Larch slats
• four square timbers for the legs
• Roof battens
• saw
• (Cordless) screwdriver
• Sandpaper

If the wood has not been pretreated, you should sand it very smoothly and treat it with wood stain. This not only makes the table more weather-resistant, but also makes it easier to clean.
