DIY PICNIC TABLE

November 16, 2020

I wanted to created a nice space where we could hang out in the back yard. My goal was to scrap wood and other things I had on hand to make this come to life.

Gather Supplies:
  1. Lumber:
  • 1×6 for Table Top
  • 1×3 for Table Sides
  • 4X4 for legs
  1. Galvanized Washers
  2. Galvanized lug bolts
  3. Deck Screws
  4. Staining Pads
  5. Waterproof Stain and Sealer in your color choice
  6. 1.5 inch brad nails
  7. Sandpaper 120 and 320 grit
Tools:
  1. Mitre Saw
  2. Impact Driver
  3. Sander
  4. Brad Nailer
  5. Tape measure

Next step is to cut lumber to desired length etc. See picture below for my detailed measurements.

 

Sand with 120 grit

 

Next is to stain. Apply 2 coats. I used a waterproof stain and sealer to guard from outside elements. Stain color is Castle Gray.

*Important to apply stain prior to assembly to get all the hidden parts

Here is what it looked like after. I wanted darker but since this is a budget DIY, kept as is.

 

Next step is to assemble. I used my brad nailer to attach the boards that lay across the table top in a diagonal manner.

 

Once done, I attached the sides with the deck screws to secure the table top.

 

Next was to attach legs, using the lag bolts and washer. 2 lag bolts to each leg.

 

I also drilled 2 deck screws through the table top on each leg to add more securely to the top.

 

Final step was to sand with 320 grit and apply a 3 coat of stain. Let dry and then style

This project was fun to work on. I plan on doing a full size table after this test run. Here are more reveal pics.

 

 

We stayed home this year for trick or treat and hung out in the backyard enjoying this space…

 

 

Thank you for stopping by….

MY DAD: My heart is filled with immeasurable grief MY DAD: My heart is filled with immeasurable grief but also profound gratitude for this man. He was kind, gentle but tough, always looking for the good and slow to anger. A man of integrity with faith like a mustard seed. I got to spend a lot of time with him over the last year and I am forever grateful. While it is hard to comprehend this loss. I know that he is looking down and guiding me. I love you dad ❤️ 2 Timothy 4: 7-8
