Creative ideas for an outdoor table?

garden benches with tables image

rjsmith717

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!

Answer
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.

Is it a good idea to open a Beer Hall?

RCrumb

I want to find some way to do it cheap and simple, so I thought just a big hall selling beer might work. Anything to keep initial costs down, no frills, no dark lighting, no signs, just a normal Beer hall and Beer garden... And no fancy names either, just "Beer Hall"
Any suggestions?
No, seriously, we can launch it as a very simple endeavor , and then add the frills later as we go.
But whatever frills you think people like, p-lease let me know if you can.

Answer
I think this is a fine idea. Germany supports thousands of beer halls. I'd start small, maybe 500 max occupancy. Just have tables and benches so that strangers are forced to sit next to one another.

Encourage singing and dancing on the benches, like Oktoberfest.

Have live and prerecorded music, including some "Ein Prosit" type tunes that periodically make people clink neighbors glasses and take a swallow.

Sounds like fun to me.
