Here's Your Guide to Make A Propane Tank & Stop Sign Table

Here’s a project that proves you can merge creativity with function. A propane tank serves as a sturdy base, while a reclaimed stop sign makes a durable tabletop.

It’s a fun conversation piece that doubles as a coffee table, plant stand, or even a side table for your reading corner.

Best of all, you’re keeping useful materials out of the landfill while building furniture with real character.

Materials Needed

  • 1 empty propane tank (20 lb size works well, fully purged and cleaned)
  • 1 stop sign or similar flat, sturdy metal/wood piece (~24-30 inches wide)
  • Metal primer and spray paint
  • Protective clear coat
  • Metal legs or rebar pieces (optional)
  • Drill with metal bits
  • Bolts, washers, and nuts
  • Epoxy or industrial adhesive
  • Stencils and paint
  • Safety gear (goggles, gloves, mask)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Begin with the propane tank. Make sure it’s safe by purging it completely. Clean it with soapy water and let it dry.

Step 2: Sand the tank’s surface to remove rust or peeling paint. Spray it with metal primer, then finish with your chosen color.

You also add stenciled lettering or graphics while the surface is clean. Seal with clear coat for a lasting finish.

Step 3: Prepare the tabletop. If you’re using a stop sign, give it a quick sanding to dull sharp edges. Next, clean it thoroughly and apply a protective clear coat to keep the finish from fading.

Step 4: Attach the tabletop. Drill through the base of the stop sign and match it to the top of the propane tank.

You then use bolts, washers, and nuts to secure them together. For extra strength, apply a layer of industrial adhesive between the sign and tank before tightening bolts.

Step 5: Add stability. If you want, weld or attach rebar feet to the bottom of the tank so it won’t wobble.

Step 6: Place your new table in the room, style it with a plant, books, or a lamp, and enjoy the character it brings.

Notes: 

The secret to making this piece shine is balance. Since both the propane tank and stop sign are bold by nature, keeping the rest of the styling simple will make the table pop without overwhelming your space.
