My wife and I wanted a smallish table for our deck. We have a table in the gazebo which is wonderful, but sometimes on those sunny-but-not-hot days it's nice to sit out in the sun to have dinner or do things. I had a kid-free day and this seemed like a good project to fill it with. This wasn't...

This is one of our tables, they can be made with a bench on just one side also, we set the legs in a little more than most so a person in a wheelchair can sit comfortably at the ends.

A co-worker of mine asked if I had any wood laying around that I could use to build a picnic table for her grandchildren. Just so happened that I had some leftover pieces of hardwood flooring in the attic of the garage that did the job just fine! Followed a standard picnic table design but...

I made this to order for a friend of the family who was anticipating her 6th birthday party. She wanted a picnic table and a garden where she could plant flowers. The platform is a kind of torsion box with recessed areas on the side and Cherry planter boxes in each corner. Floral foam was...

A friend wanted a simple outdoor picnic table. After looking at some ideas online I showed him this idea and he had no trouble paying the same amount of money for a much more customized table. I used the cheapest AC2 treated lumber I could find and put this together in a weekend. Its about 8'...

I wanted to make use of a bunch of 6×6 cut-offs I had from a deck project, so I ended up with this on my deck. It's 9' long and 42" wide. Probably weighs 350lbs. It's held together with 6" sts screws and 3" deck screws. I'll do a couple of 42" long benches for one side of it eventually. Haven't...

After a few years of drooling over teak (or similar) deck furniture (and knowing I'd never be able to afford it or care to work with the stuff) I finally built a simple picnic table for my back deck. I started with the plans from This Old House (...

This is my picnic table that I made last summer. I wanted to build it big enough so one wouldn't borrow it . It takes about four people to move it. Materials it took to build it, twenty 2×4's and four 4×4's. It measures 6' by 8' long.

Picnic tables traditionally are too low for arthritic old folks (me) and frequently run uncomfortably close for overweight arthritic old folks (still me). So, I made some modifications to this building supply store picnic table kit. I realize a kit picnic table is kind of outre on a wood...

Hope Chest I made this chest for my granddaughter Amber. It was one of my first project. I've been told that every project get better.

Douglas Fir all the way around. Stained with Early American from Miniwax finished with oil based spar urethane. 2×12's are table top, 4×4 legs, 2×4 frame. Bench tops made from 2×6's.

I made this picnic table and benches after I saw a very similar design someone else had posted on LJ. Table and benches are cedar and around 10' long, so it can seat quite a few people. I finished it with an epoxy sealer followed by a marine varnish (based on finish from the Wood Whisperer)...

Nothing earth shattering here. Today I made a picnic table for my nephew's camp. His old one was ready for the fire. It's 8 feet long and fairly wide. I decided to cap the ends and round them over so it would look better. Underneath is a bolted on set of angles I welded up. When the pole for the...

Thanks to Lenny for posting his project, which is where I got the idea. My grandfather and I hammered it out in 3 days (not finished). Just in time for the extended family 4th of July BBQ. We literally were cutting out the shape of the table top, sanding, routing, and screwing it in as the...

This was my 4th of july project as a request from the wife. When she said "you should make a picnic table today" I got kind of excited. Then she mentioned she wanted to paint it. I was hoping to get some nice cedar and make a really nice looking table with a great finish, but there was no...

This a picnic table I built from 2 cedar trees cut down by county workers. I cut 4 eight foot logs about 8" in diameter and sawed them for this table.The table is 8 feet long . Finish is minwax spar urethane. Love that cedar! Thanks for looking

I just received my new sliding Miter Saw and was looking for a simple project to try it out. I thought that this would be a good test of my saw because it had some 30 and 45 degree cuts in addition to the normal 90s. It's made of untreated Pine and sealed with Thompsons water seal used on...

This is just a simple 6' picnic table that I made for our next door neighbors. They are Turkish people from Russia and they were exiled from Russia when the Soviet Union broke up. The 1st President Bush took many refugees to the US. I can't say enough about how nice our new neighbors are the...

I wanted a picnic table that had benches that will not tip over. This is for a home that we rent as a vacation home and I did not want people to be able to tip over a bench. It was also important that it would sit 8 people comfortably. I looked around the net for quite a while till I found...

Here is a simple picnic table I made for The Girlfriend. I followed some free online plans I found, but changed quite a bit. The plans called for 2×4s and lag bolts, but I wanted to use 2×6s and I hate lag bolts, so I used regular bolts with lock nuts. It also uses (coated) deck screws and glue...
