I “loved” my zinc dining room table but it was time for us to part ways… Well, slightly! My husband has been pushing for about a year now to get a wider, wooden dining room table and I finally caved. You might have noticed it on my Fall Home Tour? But since I have such a love for the zinc table I was able to move it outside.
It’s my opinion that zinc should be outside anyway.
I cut the sides off the top of our existing outside table and my zinc table top fit over it perfectly.
The zinc has been outside for a few weeks now and it’s already got a beautiful, natural patina…sigh. I would never tell my husband this, but I really wanted this table outside to begin with! (I’ll let him keep thinking it was his idea.)
We have been working on our outdoor space for a little over a month and we are FINALLY finished (well, mostly finished 😉 ).
We painted the decks, updated some of the furniture and I made a fun rug (did you notice it?)…more on those things later.
The weather has been so nice lately that we have been able to sit outside for dinner and we’ve even had a few fires in our firepit.
So if you want to make your own DIY zinc outdoor table…You can find a complete tutorial for the zinc table top HERE and the base of my outdoor table HERE. The tutorial for my grilling station is HERE, if anyone is interested.
I can’t wait to show the rest of the space and give you all the details!!
I Love this table and the entire set up…gorgeous!!! Can I ask , will you be leaving the table and chairs outdoors during the winter ???
Thank you! Yes, I’m going to leave it outside but I might end up covering it with a tarp.
Angela, your new DIY zinc outdoor table looks absolutely gorgeous! I especially loved the detail about you secretly wanting it outside all along, letting your husband think getting a new dining room table was his idea – that’s such a relatable move. The idea of it developing a natural patina is just perfect for an outdoor space.
This DIY zinc outdoor table transformation is absolutely brilliant! I love how you managed to get it outside, letting your husband think it was all his idea, and that natural patina already developing sounds like pure perfection. It truly belongs in the outdoor space.

A **DIY Zinc Outdoor Table** involves attaching a zinc sheet to a wooden table frame. Measure and cut the zinc to fit, then secure it with screws or adhesive. Optionally, finish the wood for extra protection. It’s a simple, stylish, and durable project for your outdoor space.
What a lovely project — the way the zinc develops that patina over time is so satisfying to see! Thanks for sharing the step-by-step on turning a table top into a durable outdoor piece.

This outdoor table is so impressive. I will make it. I love it and steal a brainrot.
I think moving the zinc table outside probably gives it a whole new life and vibe, especially for gatherings or quiet moments outdoors. I’ve had similar situations where I didn’t want to part with something meaningful, and finding a new use made all the difference. Even when I take a break and relax with something simple like the EaglerCraft, it reminds me how nice it is to hold onto things that bring a bit of joy, just in a different setting.
This is such a clever idea for an outdoor table! The zinc top gives it such an industrial yet elegant look. I have been looking for a budget-friendly patio table project and this fits perfectly. The step-by-step instructions make it seem very doable even for someone like me who is not super handy. Would love to see how it weathers over time!
This DIY zinc outdoor table is such a creative way to give an old piece of furniture a new purpose. I love how the natural patina adds character and makes the table look even better over time.
