Benefits of the Transformer Bench
The main difference and its advantage in the mechanism itself - in a disassembled form, this is a set of benches with a table, and in the assembled one bench. This garden furniture is extremely simple in design, but it does not prevent her to possess a number of impressive advantages.
- This is a very mobile furniture. It can easily be transported from one part of the plot to another.
- Hand in hand with mobility goes and the second advantage - compactness. When the product is collected, it does not take place at all.
- Functional. The usual shop is inferior and at the capacity, and on the configuration - the table must be installed separately, and it is not allowed everywhere.

Varieties of mechanisms and design
The first thing you should think about before designing a bench table - how many people should be placed on it. Depending on the number, you need to select one of the design options.
- Table + benches. The most popular model. One bench disassembled turns into two with the table in the center. Here with the convenience of up to 6 people will be able to sit. Of the minuses, it can be noted that it is not too aesthetic appearance in the folded state.
- Constructor. Such a bench is also designed for a company up to 6 people, and if you do not disassemble - for two. The project provides a countertop. A little inferior at the roomier first option.
- Flower. A little reminds the designer, but if you collect it looks like a bud - hence the name. An important advantage is able to regulate the back of the seats, and minus - there are recesses on the seats, which makes them less comfortable, compared to other models.
- Additional design options. In fact, there are many varieties and projects of such benches. You can make an angular design if you are empty in the area in the corner. The design with the coffee table is ideal for fans to work in the fresh air, and the polygon table is suitable for a large company of 8 people.
Materials
As we spoke above, the service life and the overall structure of the structure depends on the right material. We list what is used most often.
- Wood. Boards and timber - the most common material for such dacha furniture. With boards it is easy to work, they can be given any form and configuration.
- For furniture in a rustic style with deliberately rough finish and the texture is more suitable for pallets. They are grinding, soaked and treated with varnish. It is important to use only those pallets on which there is no mark of toxicity and on which there is no unpleasant odor.
- Metal. The most durable option of benches is welded. They can be decorated with forging or leave as it is, emphasizing the negligence of a la loft.
- Rest of building materials. Want to save? Peel in the barn, you probably have old furniture: chairs, bedside tables, doors. Everything is suitable. The main thing is to include fantasy.
Why do you need drawings and schemes
There are many ready-made schemes and photo projects for the construction of a table. But are they needed? Maybe you can do without them?
The individual plan is needed primarily in order to calculate the correct sizes and determine the number of people who can sit down at the table. Also, the drawing needs to specify the transformation option, which and where it will open and close, the dimensions of all moving elements. All this should be done taking into account the area of the place where the shop is planned to put in the future.
How to make a transformer bench according to the scheme, what to take into account? The scheme is an ideal assistant, especially if you have no great experience in designing. A typical drawing must display all stages of work, it must be described in detail the sequence of actions. In addition, without a plan, you can not correctly calculate how much material you need. In the diagram it will be considered the length and width of the section. For example, for one leg you need about five bars with a thickness of 8 centimeters.
