Two DIY Outdoor Tables

Sunset, while a magazine about "Living in the West" still has great ideas that we can apply here in the South.  Since it is a three-day weekend and most of us will be spending time outside, I wanted to share these brilliant ideas for outdoor tables.  Also, I have a giveaway for the month of June coming- be on the lookout.  


"Zinc" Table by Stylist Jennifer Barguiarena (jenstyle@me.com
Sheet metal top from a supply company – $33
Pipe table legs from a hardware store – plumbing pipes plus a part called a bell reducer make convincing table legs $76
Old door (table top) – $0
Nail sheet metal onto door and then use sale and vinegar to give it an aged patina.  Attach the legs and voila!




Garden Table


Window Frame
2 x 2 lumber
Door Hinges
Cut the table legs to desired height, secure to window frame with door hinges.  Sunset recommends using a window with safety glass, or replacing with plastic.  The whole thing only cost them $27!
