Why I Built a Propane Tank Cover Table
We are going to add a propane heater to our deck space to allow us to sit out and enjoy it for a longer period of time. We were also lacking a side table that would look nice with our modular seating. To check both projects off the list, I came up with this! Something that conceals the ugly propane tank and adds a tabletop surface to set things on.

Photo Steps of Building my Propane Tank Cover Table
Here’s some photos I took while building this propane tank cover –
The first step is to build these two frames out of 2x4s.
Then you just add the cedar fence pickets to the outsides of the frames to enclose the sides.
The propane tank will go in between the two side panels.
Then I just added the front and back cedar fence pickets to the side panels.
For the top, I set a 1×3 piece on top of the 2×4 frames and attached the top cedar fence pickets to it and added a hinge on the back.
This propane tank cover table turned out so great for being such a quick and easy project!

This plan is based off my original outdoor storage chest plan.
I have been using this outdoor storage chest for almost five years. I did have to replace a couple of screws in the hinges, but it is STILL being used to hold my kid’s outdoor toys!
