When deciding what materials and tools to use to make your own garden furniture, you should start from the type of furniture.

  1. From wicker. It is easy to make wicker furniture that looks beautiful and homely. It will perfectly fit into any interior with the right presentation and technique. Wicker furniture is environmentally friendly due to the use of willow rods in its manufacture. It is possible to make it from bamboo, rattan or wicker, but this option will be much more expensive. Recently, newspaper sheets have been increasingly used as the most economical way to make a necessary household item.

  2. From wood. The most popular material is wood. From wooden elements you can make everything you need in a country house interior. After all, wooden elements are lightweight, economical and highly environmentally friendly. The approach to making wooden furniture should be based on the type of furniture used. In this regard, various tools may be needed. It is best to use processed boards and plywood. But various unnecessary things made of wood can also be used, which, if properly decorated, can become an excellent addition to the overall composition of the interior. It is better to refrain from making items from coniferous trees, as they contain a lot of resin. Things created using logs will be a beautiful addition to the site. More and more often in summer cottages you can find furniture made from stumps of various sizes.
