Hubbys Handmade side/snack drink bar for the beach

[BeachyBird]

Hi all,
Just thought I would our effort at making a side table for the Beach.

We had a table top custom made by Clearcut Conversions, who also supplied the Reimo leg. The table is 40x50cm.

We took a different approach to others in search of that ‘factory’ look.

Perfect job looks factory made.
This is the most useful item we have added to our Beach.

Another idea of how to make the mounts:

Weird that it’s shown in a Beach that already has the pop out Hob and Shelf!

My husband and I have made a side table for our 2016 beach.
It saved us getting the big table out, and is handy for making a brew, putting your drink on or a lap top on to watch dvds.
It's made from aluminium with rounded corners and 2 cup holders for our ecoffee cups.
It fits perfectly in the table slot holder and does not slide about.
Easy to store in the back pocket of the front seats.
Not ideal for sitting on but it's fairly robust and my drink doesn't slide around on it very much.
Ideal for the kids to play a small board game in to.
I'm really pleased with the outcome.
I also make the VW cushion covers if you go to handmade in Haworth on face book.
What do you guys think to it?

I love this solution without the addition of the leg. Is it a 6mm thick aluminium sheet or a thinner sheet formed to make a 6mm thick table? I've got a metal worker not far from hom who i might got to for this.

Not quite your fancy table with a telescopic leg but here’s my first effort! View attachment 64210

This is great! Any chance of an image of the underside?

Without support underneath this kind of solution can put pressure on the table rail and potentially damage it if you accidentally put pressure or lean on the table.

Thanks everyone for all the info and photos on here, finally got round to making a brew/snack table for our 3 seat Beach.
- Table top 400 x 400mm in beige linen with light grey trim from Clearcut Conversions
- Reimo adjustable/folding table leg from eBay
- Already had the VW brackets as we had to replace one on our main table a couple of years ago and the dealer ordered 2 pairs.
- Brackets fixed to the table top with washers and screws.

Check out #149. I managed to drill holes in the edge of the tabletop. If you cut the ends off the brackets off you can push fit or glue them in.

Excellent job you will not be disappointed with this addition to your beach. We still think this is the most useful thing we have added and couldn’t be without it.

That looks great.

that is excellent very neat good job

I wondered if you’d done that or had Clearcut do it. I’d drill out through the table if I tried that!

I just finished my little beach table. Sized to fit my laptop + mouse and store in the box. Bamboo table top that I varnished, a leg that can be cut down to the right size and the VW hook things. Table can slide along the rail to provide access to the fridge or the under seat drawer (which is impossible when using the VW door table inside).

Parts:
Table top: https://www.evomotiondesign.co.uk/product/small-table-top-for-swinging-leg/ These guys were great. They did a custom size slightly bigger than what is advertised for no extra cost and also added corner only to one end.
Leg: https://www.evomotiondesign.co.uk/product/aluminium-table-leg/

We made this for our 2 seater Beach it stays up all the time great for brewing tea or drinking wine. We are able to make the downstairs bed with it in situ so hubby can make morning tea while I stay in bed.

Note that the ocean handbook says that the table should be folded away when driving
