Picnic Table Plans

Build this classic project with basic hand tools. All it requires are a saw,
a drill, a screwdriver, and adjustable wrench.

This 6 Foot picnic table plan is based on a time honored classic design. For the prototype, I used treated lumber for the legs and regular pine for the rest of the parts. Treated lumber for the legs because they are in contact with the ground. If kept painted, the pine will last for several years. If you want to spend the extra money, you can make the whole thing from redwood. That was the wood of choice for picnic tables back when the supply of redwood was better and the prices were more affordable.
