Are you ready to take your outdoor (or indoor) decor to the next level? I'm here, as promised, to show you how to create the DIY concrete table that we built for our backyard fire pit reveal last week. Plus, I'm also going to share how I create two different solar lamps for a few dollars too. So much to share, so let's get started! Build this Concrete Table for Less than $30. Easy-to-follow build plans by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com The best part about these concrete tables is that they are very versatile. Also, you can size it to meet your needs and they even look wonderful in your interior decor. Eventually, I will get to the solar lamps in a bit, so hang in there. Adirondack Chairs by DFOHome for DIY Fire Pit by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com We made both tables with flat surfaces. However,  one has inserted cylinder to hold roasting sticks when not in use. Concrete Table for Fire Pit with Roasting Stick Holder. DIY Build Plans by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com Ready to get started? Here is what you'll need for one table: TERMS OF USE: when you build this concrete table, you agree to the following: it cannot be shared or distributed for monetary gain in any way, it may not be modified in any way, and you may not claim the work as your own. This table design can not be used as decor in a store either online or brick and mortar. Thanks for complying!

Materials: use treated wood for outdoor tables, or naturally rot resistant wood like cedar or cypress. Cuts outlined within post.

  • 1 - 4" x 4" x 8' post
  • 1 - 2"x 4" x 8' board
  • concrete adhesive
  • 1 - bag QuikCrete concrete (an 80 lb. bag made two tops)
  • wood glue
  • 3" decking screws
  • 1 ¼" decking screws
  • chicken wire or other metal mesh
  • Behr Waterproofing Stain in Chocolate (or your choice)
  • Thompson's WaterSeal Clear Multi-Surface Waterproofer
  • 1 - terra cotta drain pipe (optional for roasting stick table)

Tools:

  • double-beveling compound miter saw
  • table saw
  • drill
  • drill bits
  • mixing drill bit
  • 5 gallon bucket (or something to mix concrete in)
  • trowel or spade
  • tape measure
  • quick square
  • Kreg Pocket Hole Jig
  • HomeRight Finish Max Extra
  • sander
  • sandpaper discs in 80 grit and 120 grit
  • nailer
  • 1" brads
  • paint brush
  • wire cutters
  • concrete form made from scrap wood: Ours top measures 18 ½" x 16" - feel free to change it up.
    • 2 - 20" x 1 ¾ x 1"
    • 2 - 16" x 1 ¾" x 1
    • 1 - 20" x 17 ½" plywood panel

DIY Concrete Table Top

Step 1

First, here is what your concrete form will look like when assembled. We made ours out of scrap wood and it can be used more than once. Then, to create two tables at the same time, we built two so they would cure at the same pace. Concrete Form for Tables | prodigalpieces.com Attach the side pieces together with screws at corners. Then attach the base to the frame with more screws through the bottom of the plywood. note: If you are making the roasting stick table, center the terra cotta drain pipe in the form before pouring concrete. Making Fire Pit Concrete Table | prodigalpieces.com

Step 2

Mix up your concrete per manufacturer's instructions using a 5 gallon bucket and mixing drill bit. We used concrete we had on hand, but if we had to do it over we might try the concrete for countertops. Our choice led to a more rough texture, but worked. Mixing Concrete | prodigalpieces.com

Step 3

Pour a bit of concrete into the form then place your cut piece of chicken wire into the concrete making sure not to press it to the bottom. Pour the remaining concrete to fill the form. (note: We cut a hole in the chicken wire and slid it over the terra cotta drain pipe on the other table) Pouring Concrete into Form | prodigalpieces.com

Step 4

Drag a scrap piece of wood across the form to level out the concrete. Gently shake or tap the form to make air bubbles come to the surface. Let cure per manufacturer's instructions (approx. 24 hours)

Step 5

After letting your table top cure, it's time to fill in the bubbles and imperfections. Mix up a small amount of concrete and patch those spots. When dry, sand them down with 80 grit paper. It can be messy! Just be sure to use a mask and protection as with any job. Y'all know you want to be just like me when you grow up, right? Larissa of Prodigal Pieces workin' hard | prodigalpieces.com You can see behind me that I tried a batch of colored concrete to fill in the bubbles, but it didn't come out quite as I liked it to be. So, I went back over with a skim coat of regular old stuff.

Step 6

Next, your DIY concrete table top is ready for the sealant. First, we use Thompson's WaterSeal and brushed it on. It, too, has to cure approximately 24 hours. Applying Waterproof Topcoat to Concrete Table Top | prodigalpieces.com While you're top is curing it's time to build the base. Hoo-Rah!!

DIY Concrete Table Base

Cut instructions for double-beveled legs: (leave out the bevel for straight leg design or do a single bevel - up to you)
  • From the 4" x 4" x 8" - cut & rip 4 pieces measuring 20 ¼" x 2 ¾ x 2 ¾" with both ends cut on a double bevel at 7° (see below)
  • From the 4" x 4" scrap:
    • 2 - 13" x 2 ¾" x ¾"
    • 2 - 5 ¾" x 2 ¾" x ¾"
    • 4 - 2" x ¾" x ¾"
  • From the 2" x 4" x 8":
    • 2 leg braces - 9 ½" long with 7° mitered ends
    • 1 stretcher - 13 ½" long with 7° mitered ends

Step 1

Here is a look at a dry fit of your leg base side. Notice the legs will be pointing inward toward the center (aka. double bevel) Table Legs for Concrete Table | prodigalpieces.com Also, before assembling, take you sander and 120 grit pads and round over the leg corner sides as seen in our tables. That will make for a better wear-and-tear design as well as make the table more sleek.

Step 2

Next, measure 3 ¾" and 7 ¼" up the inside of the leg and mark with your quick square to the outside. Then, drill two holes an inch apart on the outside towards center using your 5/16" drill bit. This will be where your crosspiece is attached. Also, to get the same countersunk depth, use tape to mark at 1 ½" up from the bit end. Marking Drill Bit for Countersunk Screw Depth | prodigalpieces.com

Step 3

Then, attach crosspieces with 3" screws. To make for a rustic feel we decided to cover those holes with a faux mortise and tenon joint using a small bit of wood. Round over the corners to give it a realistic appeal. Faux Mortise and Tenon Joint for DIY Concrete Table by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com We have made the real deal mortise and tenon in our Pottery Barn knock-off bench by hand, but wanted to make this simple for you. Just add a bit of wood glue and attach using your nailer and 1" brads.

Step 4

Attach your stretcher between the two leg braces with two 3" screws on each side.  Mark your screw locations so that the stretcher will be attached at the horizontal center of each brace.  You could cover the visible screw holes with another faux tenon if you prefer.

Step 5

Time to add the table top support and then your DIY concrete table base will look like this... DIY Concrete Table Base with Plans by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com Next,use your Kreg Jig to create two sets of pocket hole joints on each end of the short pieces using your 4" x 4" scrap. (see photo) Assemble the frame and then attach using screws to the table base.

Step 6

Time for some fun! I am totally blown away by the new HomeRight Finish Max Extra because it has an assortment of tips that makes switching from one job to the next so much easier. And, it makes the three other sprayers I have obsolete because this one does it all. HomeRight Finish Max Extra with Multiple Tips for Multiple Types of Jobs | Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com You can imagine this made my project so much easier. I detailed the use of it in this video below. I had a blast! literally... How to Use the HomeRight Super Finish Max Sprayer for Home and More by Larissa of Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com Now that everything has been built and tweaked, it's time for one last step.

Step 7

Last, using your concrete adhesive, apply a generous amount to the top of the table frame. Square up and center your concrete table top and press allowing time for it to cure. Feel free to use bricks or other material as counter-weight to hold it in place.

Do the chances for the drawing show up later? The box above shows 0/25 chances but I did each activity as directed. You can tell I don't get all the technicalities of websites still, ugh....

I love these ideas! The style of the table is perfect! We have some solar lights that we got crazy cheap thanks to a rebate thing at Menards last year, I am going to have to put some of these ideas to use! And I would LOVE that sprayer! I am going to paint my doors this summer and using the time would sure beat dragging the industrial sprayer over from the farm!

LOVE it all!!! If I received a sprayer it would be so much easier to handle a huge project I have to redo a vintage wicker set from the 1940's waiting in my garage!

I really like your projects. The cement table looks really sweet. I would like to tackle our cabinets, they need refinishing.

I would quit buying spray paint, which I use to paint my vintage metal patio furniture, every year. This sounds so much better!! Thank You!

What a clever use of solar landscaping lights. A few years ago I bought all that Wal-Mart had left at the end of the season for $2.00 ea. I've been using them ever since. Now I know what I'll do with the remaining lights. That Homeright Sprayer looks fantastic! I'd love to win. Thanks for all your great blog posts!

I don't know why but I am still not getting your blog. I just liked you on facebook so I will get it that way. It's funny but all of a sudden some blogs will stop being sent to me and then all of a sudden they re-appear. Love your blog.

That solar lamp is fantastic! Now to create a backyard space for it... If I won the sprayer, my first project would be to convert the ugly TV stand/cabinet (my son got for free in college & abandoned) in our garage into a tall beverage server (like those cute Pintrist outdoor party lemonade/tea stands). At least that's my vision for it...

Love the design of the table legs. I would love a versatile sprayer of my own, that way I don't have to borrow my husband's.
