Replace Broken Glass Patio Table Top With Wooden Legs

If your patio table's glass top has met an unfortunate end, don't despair! Replacing it with a wooden top is a relatively simple and affordable way to restore your table to its former glory. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get the job done.

Materials You'll Need:

New wooden tabletop
Wood screws
Drill
Screwdriver
Sandpaper
Wood stain or paint (optional)
Polyurethane (optional)

Steps:

1. Remove the old glass top. Carefully lift the glass top off the table base. If it's attached with screws, remove them first.

2. Sand the tabletop. Use sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges or splinters on the wooden tabletop.

3. Stain or paint the tabletop (optional). If desired, you can stain or paint the tabletop to match your patio décor.

4. Apply polyurethane (optional). To protect the tabletop from the elements, apply a coat of polyurethane and let it dry completely.

5. Attach the tabletop to the table base. Flip the table base upside down and place the tabletop on top. Align the holes in the tabletop with the holes in the table base and insert the wood screws.

6. Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws until the tabletop is securely attached to the table base.

7. Flip the table right side up. Carefully flip the table right side up and enjoy your newly restored patio table!

Tips:

To ensure a snug fit, measure the old glass top and select a new wooden tabletop of the same size.
If the wood screws are too long, they may damage the table base. Use screws that are just long enough to penetrate the tabletop and table base.
For extra durability, you can add a layer of silicone sealant around the edges of the tabletop before attaching it to the table base.

With a little time and effort, you can easily replace your broken glass patio table top with a wooden one and give your outdoor space a fresh look.
