Curbstone on a balcony do it yourself

In the nightstand on the balcony you can store various things that are not used daily. There are many schemes and drawings, using which you can make a nightstand with your own hands. You can also create your own drawings and individual design of such furniture.

Design options

Before starting work, we need to determine how our bedside table will be used. Depending on this, you can choose one of the following design options:

  1. Bedside table with swing doors.
  2. Bedside table with sliding doors. Ideal if there is not enough free space on the balcony.
  3. Lifting table top.
  4. A design with blinds or a curtain instead of doors.

Attention! Inside the nightstand, shelves are installed. Their number depends on the items that will be stored there. Most often, 2-3 shelves are enough.

What materials can be used

In most cases, the cabinets on the balcony are made of the same material that finished the room. The most common options are wood fiber tile, plastic and wood paneling. These materials are well resistant to temperature and moisture. But if you use tiles made of wood chips, it is necessary to insulate the balcony, since high moisture can negatively affect the finished furniture. Note. When choosing one of the listed materials you will have no restrictions in the color or firm of the cabinet.

If you choose a laminated chipboard, the bedside table will look like ordinary apartment furniture. Plastic products are lightweight, and the lining-based product is notable for its effectiveness. All of the materials listed are easy to process, durable and durable, and easy to shape. So the main thing when choosing a material will be how it will look on the background of the balcony.

Beginning of work

Work always begins with the preparation of a project plan, counting the amount of material needed, and their purchase. If you have chosen wood chipboard, then you will need sheets of material of a certain size, end tape, hinges, fasteners and supports. And we will need the following tools:

  1. Paint knife.
  2. Screwdriver.
  3. Drill and the necessary set of drills.
  4. Pencil to be used for marking.

Manufacturing process

Step-by-step process of making a bedside table:

  1. First you need to make a box of stiffness. For this we need a beam with a section of 40x40. The frame needs to be fixed both on the floor and on the walls of the balcony. For this, durable metal corners are used.
  2. A cover is installed on the box. It's okay if she goes beyond the box. In order to strengthen the lid, you will need the corners that are placed inside.
  3. Now you can install the shelves. Choose as many as we need.
  4. The door is installed.
  5. The joints are hidden using decoration elements.

It is quite simple to assemble a cabinet, and the result is high-quality furniture that makes excellent use of unnecessary space on the balcony.
