SWMBO inherited a very old wrought iron table with four chairs. We plan to get it refinished at a local shop that sandblasts and powder coats almost anything. It has a glass top but, since we're going to use it on our deck, she wants me to make a top for it from composite deck material to go with the deck. She suggests using a coordinating color. The table is oblong - not a true ellipse.
I'm laying out a design that is typical of a lot of tables - an outer border or frame with an inner field. I'll rip the deck boards to about 2.5" wide for the inner field and create some kind of pattern.
Have any of you built anything like this from composite deck material? It seems like it should work using procedures similar to wood. There's movement to consider and I suppose construction adhesive will be required. Anything you can suggest will be appreciated.
