Reclaimed Scaffold Board Rustic Simple Wood Bench with Steel Box Section Legs

Product Information

Scaffolding board furniture is a cheap and affordable way to build strong sturdy furniture for the home or even the garden. In fact, scaffold boards are great for DIY garden furniture as they are well designed to be used outside. 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

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! 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. I also found this great company based in Somerset which have dry boards and offer a range of services like sanding and cutting to size: https://thescaffshop.com/ They are a little more expensive but if you want to save time then it’s worth a go. They are a chunky bit of timber that gives them a wonderfully rustic and industrial vibe when making furniture. I have used the boards for shelving and making a world map desk as this DIY bench.

Are scaffold boards tables suitable for outdoor use? In turn, with bespoke scaffolding furniture, you not only get a cool looking piece of furniture with a unique story, but also furniture that’s durable, robust and built to last. This is probably why it’s becoming more and more popular in home interior design.

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.

This will give a super smooth finish to your table top and prepare for a stain and oil to be applied. Step 8. Finishing your rustic scaffold board table and bench If you’re after something a little different for working at home or in the office, we have a new range of furniture that we’ve made from our salvaging work. Using scaffold board and poles that we’ve reclaimed and restored, we’ve created a whole range of industrial style desks, tables and benches using these wonderful original materials.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. 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. 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? For this part you’re going to need some large sash clamps, a biscuit jointer, some biscuits and some wood glue. Start by marking up your wood for the biscuit jointer. To do this I normally lay all the boards out flat and line them up neatly next to each other, then mark with a pencil 120mm in from each end where the boards join. Then another pencil mark half way down between each board. 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.
