Tiled outdoor dining table

RainbowDiY

My old outdoor table was looking very tired. The chairs were still in good condition but the table was shot. All replacements didn’t match the chairs or was super expensive. I saw these beautiful marble mosaics and had an idea.

I bought 17ml form ply, a set of legs, 2x4 to strengthen the table as it’s 2.2 m long and 1.2 m wide , merbau decking to make an apron and the edge of the table. I matched the marble mosaic to a beautiful outdoor pool tile called Bali stone which had a hint of green which picked up the green in the mosaic.

I then got a tile adhesive and spacers, laid out my tiles and stuck them down. Once dry I grouted the table in Soft grey and edged the table with a merbau strip.

i am so happy with the results. It matched our chairs, its unique and most importantly it resilient and sturdy, important for a growing young family.

the total cost came in at $800 approx which I think is very reasonable for the quality of the table.

give it a whirl !
