Slatted Seasonal Patio SetBuild this stylish, knockdown patio set in a weekend from economical supplies and with simple construction techniques. By Lars Dalsgaard Outdoor furniture made of wood has just the right look for many decks and patios. It usually blends well with other architectural elements and the landscape, while having a nice substantial quality to it. Sadly, plastic and metal furniture sets are the common backyard choices these days because they're easier to move around and less susceptible to damage from the sun, snow and rain. This table and bench set solves the negatives usually associated with wood. It comes apart, so no piece is very heavy. Disassembly is simply a matter of loosening a wingnut at each corner. The furniture also folds flat, making it possible to store the entire set in your garage, shed or basement during the off-season — something difficult to do with other "fixed" furniture designs. Indoor storage, combined with a tough outdoor enamel finish, will keep this ensemble looking great for many years of seasonal use. Pretty and ultra practical: This project's knockdown design makes the parts easier to carry as well as convenient to store during the off-season. While metal and plastic outdoor furniture is common, there is a sense of quality associated with nicely proportioned and well-built wooden outdoor furniture. 48 June 2009 Woodworker's Jou ma I |
