We're coming down to the last few big projects in the backyard and I'm so excited to have this table to be able to enjoy our outdoor space we've created even more!

Cool project! Just a tip for next time... for big slabs like this, it would be a good idea to reinforce the cement with small diameter rebar.👍
She said all of that.....lol. This is a lovely channel. Creative, funny and y'all have a beautiful family.
All things concrete on the homestead. Can't wait
😉😉 glad to hear it!
Love what y’all do. Keep up the good work. Since you chose not to water cure, I’d really like to see an update after 1 year.
This is so smart to make concrete outdoor furniture! It will hopefully stand up to the weather. Cheers from rainy Vancouver Island.
Thanks for watching and for the love!
Nice sturdy table and quite the work out! Don’t give up on concrete as there are some awesome builds out there with it. 👍🏼
Thank you! Haha we save every time we work with concrete that we’re never doing it again 🤣
So awesome! I’m doing this table this summer!
Awesome! I’d love to know how it turns out 😊
LOL you guys are great, I loved the mini workout scene.
Haha thanks! We have fun 😉
That was entertaining great job the table looks great 😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job
Thank you!
Y'all needed some strong coaster wheels & then build you a "skate" out of 2 by 4's to roll it back there
My dad & I moved a 3 inch thick concrete slab that measure about 3 ft by 9ft..for a picnic table that we were making for the park tables the skate worked really well for rolling them around but it took all 7 Brothers to put those slabs on top of the pipe frames
We definitely tried making a skateboard type thing but we were too worried about being able to control it going down our sloped driveway and it making it through the grass.
Hi what did you use to make your frame
What is the length and width of the concrete slab? :) I am OBSESSED and want to make this exact one!
The width is 30” and length is 72”. Thanks so much!!
No rebar or wire mesh in the concrete?
We didn’t put any. We saw a tutorial about this method a few years ago and have done 3 slabs this way now. None of them have been this big but of course you can always add rebar or mesh for added strength!
Convinced me not to do a separate cement top. Great job thou
Here from tic tok lol comment for algo ✌️
Thanks for coming over!
How did you get concrete to look white and how may bags of cement? Also what time of cement?
It may look white on camera but it’s a light grey. We used 6 bags of rapid set mortar mix and 6 bags of rapid set flow control. There’s more detail about mixing the concrete in our diy concrete coffee table video. I have everything I used linked here: liketk.it/3Bven
Do you have a rough estimate of what the table weighs when put together?
I would guess probably close to 500lbs 😅
@@olivegreyavenue 😂
Beautiful build, you should look into GFRC and lightweight concrete for such builds the strength is compatible but the weight is 1/3 - 1/4 at least
@@johngardiner8847 if we do something with concrete again, we will. We have sworn off concrete projects a few times though 😅
@@olivegreyavenue I heard you mention that in the comments multiple times, but for the price and the finish product you can't beat the look. Esp when polished correctly
@@johngardiner8847 i guess that’s why we keep coming back to it 😅
Great video! Do you think this table is doable with an umbrella hole in the middle?
We actually considered doing an umbrella hole! I think you definitely could. Just get a pvc pipe and glue it in the middle of the form where you want it and caulk around it.
Do you have a video how you put your table together ? First timer and hoping to attempt
This!
This is the video I have on the assembly but I have more details on my story highlights on instagram @olivegreyavenue 😊
@@olivegreyavenue I love it so much ! Probably going to try foam in the center. I’m so excited!
@@kara2468_ aw yay! That’s a great idea. Let me know how it turns out!!
Great table & video. Did you polish or sand the top?
No I didn’t, it came out smooth and shiny because of the melamine form it was in 😊
Wheels....this is why they were invented. Buy a Hand Truck that folds down. Best purchase in my garage.
Yeah we thought through all the options and while that sounds great, we had a slope that we didn’t want to lose control of 400lbs on and we had to fit it sideways past our A/C unit
No rocks, no rebar? Did you seal the concrete slab?
Nope, mortar mix only has sand for a smooth finish and we didn’t use rebar. If you want to, you just place it in the center while pouring.
Cool. I was just curious because maybe I’ll have a house again one day and I like your table. So I was wondering for if I get a chance to make my own.
@@koalafan1576 torally! I also haven’t sealed it yet because you have to wait 60 days from pouring but I do plan to seal it soon
What is the height ?
Standard dining table height is between 28-32 inches so I made it 30”
Note to self.....built the table top where I'm gonna set it
Hahah that would be wise
I wanted to scroll to reach the part when they put it onto the frame........cruel I know,sowwy
No aggregate, no metal for a piece that size ...mortar?....ok
Thats correct, that’s what we did 😉
Great table and video.How did you install cement to the wood? Or just put it on?
It’s just sitting on there right now!
