DIY Outdoor Side Table - https://domesticallyblissful.com/diy-outdoor-side-table/
Last summer I decided to create a DIY Outdoor Side Table, but I didn’t want a regular side table, I wanted one that I could store stuff in, specifically little Roger’s toys.
I saw several side tables that looked like this both in stores and online that were out of my price range, so I decided to just make my own, out of one of the most popular and viral planters of the season.
Although it is made out of plastic planters, and I was worried it might blow over, after several summer storms it didn’t budge an inch in this little alcove (because of its protected location on our covered patio).
Plus it helped that there were some of little Roger Dale’s toys inside it.
But if you do decide to make this planter and place it in a less wind-safe location, you can always put a cement block at the base (that is just a hair smaller than the planter) to help keep it from tipping over.
I also added a piece of rectangular wood to the inside of the lid (just slightly smaller than the width of the top of the planter) so that it couldn’t easily slide off.
It worked great all summer and little Roger Dale always knew right where to find his toys and they were protected from the wind and rain.
Do you like having outdoor storage for toys and small objects?
