If you’re looking for a less rustic finish on your dining table then you could consider using a different type of wood. For example, I have also made amazing dining tables and desks from American white oak and walnut. The finish is cleaner as they are made from hardwood, and will be much more durable than a scaffold board table. Here are a couple of my projects.

Are scaffold boards tables suitable for outdoor use?

The scaffold board bench will use the same boards but they are going to be too wide by joining two together. We want the bench top to be about 360mm wide, therefore each board needs to be ripped down to 180mm wide. To do this I use my trusty table saw. A reclaimed wood scaffold board table will be more functional when the surface is smooth and flat. By filling the gaps, dents and cuts with a wood filler we can make the surface smooth, which makes it easier to clean and maintain. Scaffolding furniture can be used inside or outside your home, whether you want unusual garden furniture for chic al fresco dining, sleek wooden shelving units in your lounge or a sturdy desk for your office or studio. Once dry you can now remove the clamps. Your table top should now be strong enough to flip over. If you’re going for a perfectly smooth finish on your table top then it’s worth filling any holes with some wood filler. Filler can be applied and smoothed over using a putty knife or scraper. Once the filler is dry you can sand down to a 120 grit like the rest of the wood.

Once complete, line the boards up to ensure a good fit together and plane/sand the edges if required. Step 6. The joining process Originally, the bench was going to be for just a bit of extra seating in the garden. As I like it so much I fancy having it in the house now. It’s a handy little bench to sit on when you put your shoes on or take them off. So that’s pretty much it. You can see how easy it is to make a beautiful functioning table thats eco friendly and long lasting. Conclusion

The galvanising is important as it means your metalwork has been dipped in zinc to provide a layer of protection against corrosion. As well as weather resistance, this process will also help fortify your scaffold board workbench in busy or abrasive environments – like a workshop, garage or bustling kitchen. Select the right metal work bench for your space As well as being good solid sturdy timber, scaffolding boards are very cheap. Especially old scaffolding boards, which can often be bought very cheaply and sometimes are even given away free by builders. Personally, I prefer to reclaim old boards for my scaffolding board furniture DIYs, as this only adds to their rustic aesthetic.

Using only the highest-quality original materials and our own hand-crafting techniques, our reclaimed wood furniture can bring a modern, clean style to any setting.It wasn’t until I added a broken old chair to my scrap hoard did I come up with an idea for my scaffolding board furniture. I decided to merge them both into a lovely reclaimed wood DIY bench. Now it’s time to fit the legs to the scaffold board table top. This should be straight forwards by simply lining up your desired location and screwing in with a drill-driver or impact driver. To choose your leg location you will need to consider the width of your chairs and if you wish to seat people at either end. To allow enough leg room at either end of the table I tend to mount the legs about 28cm in. Many of our pieces are a combination of different materials from scaffolding constructions, as well as different solid woods that create unique, practical and fashionable pieces. For example, re-purposing the metal scaffolding pipes makes for excellent table and chair legs, book shelf structures, pretty much anything! Once you have two boards cut down for the scaffold board bench you can repeat the jointing process same per the above, except you will only use the two cut-down boards. Step 7. Filling and sanding If you are building a scaffold board table for your garden then I’d still recommend keeping it under cover for the winter months. Invest in a cover or take the time to put it into storage so that is isn’t left out in the elements all year round. Is scaffold board furniture any good?
