How To Make A Lemonade Stand

Posted by Cindy · June 8, 2017

It is summer and time for ice cold lemonade. Kids love selling lemonade! Here are lemonade stand plans you can build in an afternoon.

This wooden diy lemonade stand is built from a 4′ X 8′ sheet of 1/2″ plywood and some Masonite for signs.

How To Build A Lemonade Stand

4′ X 8′ X 1/2″ sheet of plywood
4′ X 4′ X 1/8″ sheet of Masonite
4 – 4″ Strap Hinges (hooks sides to front)
2 – 3″ Door hinges (hooks top to front)
36 – 8 X1/2 flat head phillips wood screws
2- 8 X 5/8 philips metal screws (hooks plastic pvc coupler to sign)
2 Nails approximately 2″ long
Drill
Drill bit #8 or 11/64″
2 – 1″ PVC Slip Couplers
2 – 3 inch L Brackets
4 – 8 X 3/8 Flat Phillips Metal Screws
Paint , I gave the stand a coat Pantone’s “Color of the Year” Emerald Green Valspar paint from Lowes.

Cut from plywood:
Top 48″ x 18 1/2″
Front 36″ x 48″

Cut from Masonite:
Sign 22″ x 32″
Top sign 18×48

The best part is when you are finished selling lemonade the stand folds flat for easy storage!

These girls are on there way to making their first million!

So, it looks like the dimensions for the sides should be 36 in x 18.5 inches right? Also, I am not clear how the top secures to the rest of the structure. I see in one of the drawings you mention "slip a nail in this hole." Is that a hole you drill in each side piece?

Thank you! Such a cute idea!

Thanks so much for the plans! I made one for my son this morning as we are having our annual garage sale and he requested another stand. Except this year we should be the star of the neighborhood thanks to you!

I made this for Christmas. It turned out cute. I did have trouble with the strap hinges though. I could only use 2 screws per side or it wouldn't fold up. It is a bit heavy to move, but I'm excited about it and my 4 yr old loved it! If I did it again, I think maybe I'd make it a teensy bit smaller so I could move it easier. Thanks for sharing!!

What are the 'side' measurements? I think someone already posted this question, but it wasn't answered.

Thanks!

I'm looking for cutting measurements and don't see the sides listed on the cut list... Are the side dimensions 36x18?
