CONSTRUCTION
Materials:
Nearly all the reclaimed scaffold boards we use are sourced from companies around Sussex & Surrey.
All the boards have been used on a construction site, so each one will have a degree of history and will vary in widths & thicknesses. The reclaimed boards may include, cuts, rust stains, holes, paint etc, all adding to the reclaimed nature of the tables character, please consider this before ordering. Please see pictures below of characteristics that can be found on your table.
In most cases, the 4” x 2” timber and fence posts will come from reclamation yard, salvage companies and local builders that will always have some wood left after a job. (subject to availability)
For the long lengths, if we do not have available we will buy from the local timber merchant.
We also look on Gumtree and Freecycle for unwanted wood and left overs, it is amazing how much and what gets thrown out.
Construction:
Every Rustic Table is slightly different of course but the basics are the same.
The joints are glued and screwed together for the superior fixing strength.
We use 502 all-purpose weatherproof wood glue, It can be used internally and externally and provides a high strength, impact resistant bond that is usually stronger than the wood itself.
The screws are Timberfix 360 part threaded Wood screws (5mm x 100mm & 5mm x 70mm), zinc yellow plated for extra corrosion resistance.
The heads of the screws are covered by wooden 10mm dowels that are glued in place, planed flush and sanded.
Detachable Legs:
If access to your property is restricted we would recommend the detachable leg option. Please see the photos on our Design page of how these look. If you have your table delivered by a courier or you pick up, you'll need a small 10mm ratchet and a star allen-key, plus another pair of hands.
Please always read our Design & Delivery pages before placing an order.
Pricing:
We try to be as competitive as possible but thankfully we are not in the mass production market and not from Sweden.
All our Rustic Dining and Patio Tables are handmade and because we use reclaimed wood with character, construction time is increased due to the requirements of sanding the wood back to a suitable finish.
However business is business so we are happy to listen to any reasonable offers, more so for larger orders or businesses, we also run promotions from time to time, take a look at our Promotions page for further details.
Please Note: Our Lead Time Estimate is displayed on the Main Page - PLEASE CHECK BEFORE ORDERING - Thank you.
