My husband and I just moved into a new home and the previous owners left a very nice wooden bench that I am planning to place alongside my garden. I would really love an outdoor seating area, but can't afford to purchase a new patio set. Does anyone out there have some creative ideas for building an outdoor table to go along with the bench?

Thanks!

yes...you could put together a table with a large garden urn with a sheet of tempered glass. This makes a nice "coffee table" for an informal seating area in your garden.

Who sets the standards for requirements such as toilets, showers and other amenities for the general public? Does this change for a small event (1000 people) as opposed to a large event (100,000 people). Where can I find information about these questions. Any helpful information and useful links would be great and thanks for taking the time to answer.

I would think the arena promotor combined with local fire officials would be where you would go for information such as this.

I am hosting my sister's wedding at my home and we have concerns about seating. Is it okay to have the tables set up already or should we have the chairs lined in rows and then changed out after the ceremony. I'm afraid that this will waste too much time for setup of the tables plus I've never seen this done before. Is this tacky? Any suggestions ?
Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas...I talked with my sister. we probably will try to do a combination of rows and tables. Just two rows for the family and the other tables set up.

If it is a matter of room. Just switch them out afterward. You can offer a nice cocktail hour with hors 'douvers after the ceremony so your guest can unwind and mingle before dinner while you are setting up the tables.

People keep stealing out furniture outside. What is the best way of making something that people can't steal? We don't have a lot of money.

I was thinking of cutting wood and making stacked frames, setting them on the driveway and filling the inside of the wooden fame stand with cement...will that work?

You can run a chain through the legs. It would be hard to take everything in one bundle so to speak.

Concrete is expensive. You might want to drill holes in the driveway and run bolts through. Use an epoxy to hold the anchor bolts in the concrete drive.

What type of furniture? Benches can be bolted down but it might be tougher to do that with chairs since people like to move them out when sitting down.

If you stack frames, make sure they can't be just lifted off the concrete blocks and you need to check with your building division. There may be restrictions for permanent construction vs. portable patio furniture. It never hurts to ask and may eliminate trouble down the road with your city officials.

I would like to purchase an outdoor dining set that seats 4-6 people. I am looking in the price range of $200-$450. I feel like a lot of them are really overpriced. Any suggestions?
