And---This is almost a "Trash to Treasure" kind of a thing.....

I have acquired two of these huge spools from my HD to use as "patio tables". These hold the seriously heavy "all house" electrical wiring cable on them. I had my eye on it for a week--as it was getting emptier and emptier. Wrote my name all over it--so everyone was helping me keep an eye out for when it really became empty.
These are trash once they are empty! NOT to me!!!!!

You just need to find some kind of a waterproof top to put on them. Like a piece of laminate or flooring.
This one I just got this Summer. Have not done the top yet. The white, round thing on it is just a thingie that I picked up at the Ikea "As Is" dept. It is enameled metal. Must have been a table top or something.....Wish it was a bit bigger. Would work great!
