Many summer residents during the arrangement of the gazebo use high-quality furniture. Given that wear-resistant structures cost a lot of money, they can be made independently. To do this, use improvised materials that are easy to find in the household. This article will discuss the step-by-step technology for creating furniture.

The best materials for creating furniture in the gazebo

To make furniture for a garden arbor, you need to use high-quality materials. Most often used wood and pallets, because their cost is not high.

Often used metal, which gives the garden house a high price and shows the status of the owner. If necessary, you can take those materials that are in the garage or in the attic. If you add products with fabric covers, decorative pillows or paint, they will immediately transform and become more vivid.

Did you know? In ancient Greece, all furniture was made of stone. And only in the V century BC. e. wooden beds appeared.

Wood

Most often, furniture for the gazebo is made of wood. This material is easy to repair, which significantly increases its service life.The surface of such furniture is recommended to be varnished so that the products are not exposed to rain. It is best to clean them indoors for the winter.

From pallets

The popularity of pallets for the manufacture of furniture is explained by easy accessibility, cheapness and ease of processing. Having made a chair, sofa or table from such material, you can easily dismantle them if necessary.

Furniture structures made of pallets are characterized by ease of care. If during installation they are treated with a paint and varnish coating, then it is sufficient to periodically wipe the surface from dust and dirt.

Metal

Metal products withstand heavy loads due to the strength of the material. Designs do not require repair and careful maintenance.

Periodically treat the surface of metal furniture with an anti-corrosion solution to maintain a presentable appearance. The lack of material is the high cost.

• no additional decoration is required;
• environmental friendliness;
• simplicity in leaving;
• resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Furniture options and making them yourself

To make the gazebo more comfortable and suitable for relaxation, it is necessary to install furniture. If you do not want to spend a large amount of money on its purchase, you can build it yourself.

The technology of creation is quite simple, if you choose the right materials and draw an approximate drawing. First of all, you need to prepare the parts, and then proceed to installation.

Did you know? The most expensive element of furniture is a chair made by E. Gray, worth $ 28 million. It is made of genuine leather and complements the decor of a pair of marble dragons.

Sofa

To make a sofa for an arbor, prepare the following list of tools:

• drill and ax;
• hammer;
• marker and tape measure;
• screws, nails and screws;
• emery material;
• joiner's glue.

As the materials used stain, paint and two pallets (dimensions 120 × 80 cm). It is better to buy pallets in hardware stores so that they are not rotten or deformed. Clean wood surfaces from dust and sand away from chipping. Treat the material with a moisture-resistant paintwork, which will increase the service life of the product in the open air.

A step-by-step instruction for manufacturing and assembly is as follows:

1. Beat supports from pallets.
2. Cut the shield of the required size, and assemble the base of the sofa.
3. Attach the legs of solid wood. Determine the height yourself.
4. Build the back of the sofa using the second pallet.
5. Fasten both parts together with self-tapping screws and wood glue for greater strength.
6. Attach the armrests.

The finish is painting. After that, you can cover the sofa with covers that are sewn from strong and durable fabric. Microfiber and velveteen are best suited for these purposes.

Chairs

You can also use pallets to create chairs. They are characterized by strength, so they can easily withstand a person.

To make a chair from improvised materials, you will need the following tools:

• screws and saw;
• small bars to be used for armrests and legs;
• plywood and hinges;
• corners made of metal;
• measuring tape;
• screwdriver and electric drill;
• gloves and goggles to prevent corns and chips from getting into your eyes.

First of all, you need to cut the pallet into 2 parts. They must be the same so that there is no abrupt transition between the seat and the back. Pass over all surfaces with a grinder, removing nicks and roughness. This will prevent injuries during rest.

Installation of the seat and backrest consists in the fact that you need to connect the two parts of the pallet with the help of screws and tighten them tightly with screws. You can fix them with double rails to make the structure more durable. Thanks to this, people will feel safe during their holidays.

Important! If you want to make a chair mobile, then use rollers.

The manufacture and installation of legs consists of the following steps:

1. Make the bars short but wide. The optimum height is 30 cm and the width is 10 cm.
2. Attach them to the bottom of the structure using metal corners.

Attach the armrests and coat the chair with paint or varnish. Additional layers will increase the life of the furniture, as well as make it brighter. A ready-made chair will be much more convenient if you lay it with a soft blanket and lay out pillows in colorful shades.

Shelf

To place a large number of dishes, decor items and other things in the gazebo, you can equip it with racks. Due to their compact size they will not take up much space. To make a shelf, use the following materials: boards, shockproof glass, pallets, etc. All parts of the structure must be fastened together with screws and nails.

As tools that will be required to create a beautiful shelf, use:

• jigsaw;
• grinding machine;
• electric drill;
• screws and screws;
• paintwork;
• paint brush;
• building angle;
• manual frezer.

Before you start creating a shelf, you need to decide on the place where it will be placed. After that, pick up wood boards so that they are of the same shade. Lay out the materials on a flat surface and transfer the marking to them, according to the previously created drawing. Saw the prepared boards into parts, which afterwards will need to be connected together. Process the parts with a grinder and varnish.

Step-by-step assembly technology is as follows:

1. Lay the bottom board on a flat surface.
2. Mark out where to drill holes.
3. Draw a line parallel to the edge, backing 8 mm from the cut line.
4. Mark the points at a distance of 5 cm from the edge of the board on the drawn line.
5. In the marked places, make holes for the screws.
6. Perform similar actions on the other side of the board.
7. Connect the bottom of the shelf to the top using self-tapping screws and side boards.

As a decor for shelves, you can use strips of gold or silver. They are glued to the outside of the structure with glue or double-sided tape. Also, there are several recommendations from experts to which you can listen: gold combines with light shades of wood, and silver with dark shades of wood. Often, various patterns are applied to the sides of the shelf with paint.

Table

To make a wooden table for a garden gazebo, the following materials will be required:

• dry board (15 × 5 cm) about 20 m;
• self-tapping screws;
• a grinder equipped with a grinding wheel;
• drill;
• saw.

First you need to prepare the boards. To do this, they are marked and cut, following the estimated dimensions of the future table. Summer residents are advised to make 18 equal parts. After preparing the boards, they should be dried in the open sun (about two days). This will allow for high-quality grinding. To make a countertop, connect 5 boards together, placing them parallel to each other. Fasten with four slats (5 × 5 cm) in which the legs will be mounted.

The distance between the edge of the table and the bar should be 30 cm. After completing all the steps, proceed with the installation of the legs. They must be durable to withstand the corresponding load. It is best if their length is 50–70 cm and their width is 8–10 cm. To strengthen the legs, you can use an additional board, which is fixed with self-tapping screws. Its optimum length is about 170 cm. When the structure is assembled, grind the corners and countertop with a grinder to avoid chipping.

Armchairs

To make a chair for the gazebo, prepare the following tools:

• electric saw and hand mill;
• screwdriver and screws;
• drill;
• glue;
• boards.

Important! To hide the screws, use wooden corks.

Step by step instructions for creating:

1. Make four legs from the boards. Two of them should be 5 × 7 cm, and the remaining 6 × 5 cm.
2. Separately build a back, armrests, jumpers and levels.
3. Use a electric saw to saw straight sections, and a jigsaw for curly sections.
4. Attach the armrests to the legs using self-tapping screws.
5. Sand uneven parts with sandpaper.
6. Connect the sides of the back to the first seat rail.
7. Screw the top of the back to the base with screws.
8. Grind all parts of the chair.

How to arrange furniture in the gazebo

The table is best placed in the center of the gazebo, so that all guests are comfortably located and can get treats. Chairs are placed around the table. Shelves are recommended to be placed in a remote corner so that they do not cause inconvenience to anyone.

Important! Benches, a sofa and armchairs are placed around the perimeter of the gazebo to accommodate as many guests as possible. If you replace the chairs with them, then the location on both sides of the table will be relevant.

Making furniture for a gazebo on your own is not difficult if you choose high-quality materials and think about the features of the decor. Try to create designs so that they fit together in terms of color and the raw materials used. So you can create a single style that will delight and deliver comfort while relaxing.
