Transform Your Patio with These Easy DIY Furniture Ideas

Cedar Potting Bench

This super-simple potting bench will make your gardening projects much more enjoyable and help you stay organized, too! You can build this DIY patio furniture project in just a few hours, even if you’re a beginner. Once it’s finished, you’ll have everything you need to care for your patio plants in one place.

Timber Bench

Need outdoor seating in a hurry? This simple timber bench, based on author and ecologist Aldo Leopold’s classic design, can be constructed in a couple of hours, even if you are a novice woodworker. Unlike other ornate options, this bench will look right at home in your yard, regardless of your landscaping.

Cedar and PVC Patio Table

For large outdoor gatherings, a reliable patio table is a necessity. And while you can certainly purchase one from a store, making one yourself allows you to customize the piece however you need. If you have the budget, we recommend purchasing a naturally rot-resistant wood for the legs. We opted for cedar when we did this DIY patio furniture project.

Tile-Top Table

Combining woodworking, metalwork and tiling techniques, this Italianate tile-top table makes a lovely addition to any deck or patio. The top is made from plywood, with mosaic tiles added for a Mediterranean feel. The legs are hand-bent metal. This is a more involved DIY patio furniture project; you’ll need to make a gig to ensure accurate shaping. It will also take you several days, but it will be well worth the investment once you see how beautiful it turns out.

Polished Concrete Table Top

Although it certainly doesn’t seem like it would be a quick project, this gorgeous concrete tabletop is an excellent introduction to working with finished concrete, and it builds faster than you’d think. The longest part of forming a concrete top is building the form. But once you’ve mastered that skill, the rest moves along easily.

How to Make an Adirondack Chair and Loveseat

This Adirondack chair and matching loveseat are designed for outdoor comfort. They’re pieces of DIY patio furniture that have been designed for easy assembly so that a novice can build them. And you can build them from inexpensive, durable wood that, once stained, looks beautiful.

Planter Side Table

If you think you’ve got a planter you no longer have any use for, think again. Before tossing it, consider upcycling it into a side table to accompany your other patio furniture. If you want to get fancy with this, you can use stencils when adding color. Or you can simply let it be a pop of color on its own, no patterns needed.

Kids’ Table

Don’t forget the little ones in your life! They need spaces to sit as well, especially if you entertain on your patio quite often. This DIY kids’ table is fairly easy to make and gives the children their own spot to eat or play during your barbecues and summer parties.

Composite Benches

Seating is one of the most important features of a patio. Why have an outdoor space if you can’t sit down and enjoy it? We built these benches with composite decking so that they’re low-maintenance. You just need to build them and then enjoy them all season long.

Epoxy River Bench

If you want a stand-out bench for your patio, this one with an epoxy river is an excellent choice. It’s trendy and beautiful, and it’s a piece of patio furniture that you can DIY. There’s no need to shell out lots of money as long as you’re willing to learn how to work with epoxy resin.
