Learn the secret of how you can easily build your own spectacular picnic table in just one weekend.
The tantalizing aroma of sizzling steak fills the air. The cloudless summer evening is warm. The ice cold beer slides down effortlessly. Excited laughter echoes around the patio…….. The BBQ is under way!
BUT, oh no! Where is everyone going to sit? Where is all the food going to go? People are uncomfortably perched everywhere with plates balanced on their knees.
Having the capacity to enable you to seat all of your guests can be an expensive exercise. A big challenge with picnic tables is that you can have a high initial cost and then because they are so big and bulky you have the additional cost of freighting them to your home. Extra large ones are not even legal to transport on the road.
My name is Philip Griffith. I have been involved in the woodworking business for over 25 years. One of my interests has been in the design and manufacture of picnic tables.
This suburb little table can seat 6 s very comfortably. The table top measures 47” (1190mm) to the parallel sides. It is very simple to construct because all of the angles on the table are 60 degrees. Even with a minimum of tools it should take no more than a day to build.
This table can seat 12 people very cosily. The table top measures 57” (1450mm) to the parallel sides. It is also very simple to construct because all of the angles on the table are once again 60 degrees.
This table would make a stunning addition to your patio. It can seat 8 s very comfortably plus a few kids as well. The table top measures 64” (1625mm) to the parallel sides. All of the angles on the table top and seats are 45 degrees while the angles of the legs are 60 degrees.
This is the mother of all tables. Very large. It can seat 16 people comfortably. The table top measures a m ive 80” (2035mm) across to the parallel sides. Despite its size it is still very simple to construct because there are still only 2 angles on the table, 45 degrees and 60 degrees. You may need some friends to help shift it into position though.
Purchased your plans last week for the large hexagon. I have done very BASIC projects in the past. This was my first attempt at any project that required angled cuts. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the results. The table came out nearly perfect. Picked up a few lessons learned along the way that will help with future tables. Bottom Line. Thank you. The table was perfect and only took about 8 hours of work. John Saunders
Dear Mr. Philip, I hope my English is sufficiënt to let you know that I took the plan as a guideline to make a a frame picnic table out of used floor beams. So I have to calculate a lot because I like to work with centimeters instead of inches and the beams were a bit chunckier than the wood used in the plan but it all turned out just fine. I now have a table that would last for many years. Greetings Inek.
It all started at a BBQ at my Father in Law’s place when he lost the steak off his plate which was resting on his lap! He decided right then and there, that there was not enough outdoor seating and eating space at his beach paradise residence when all the family arrived.
Over a couple of beers he suggested some ideas for an 8 sided timber table in the form of an octagon. Together we came up with a sketchy blueprint. Being in the timber industry we soon came up with the lumber. Then we worked on it. We put an experimental one together…. It wasn’t perfect.
Nor it seemed, had anybody else! People were amazed. Where did you get it? How can I get one? How much do they cost? Where can I get the plans?
The solution was brilliant. We ended up with tons of seating and table space and it was cheap, stylish, unique, cl y and easy to make! And we were being asked for the plans. Trial and error and feedback lead to perfection.
We started producing and selling tables and now we have developed the plans for you to build an ideal picnic table for yourself.
Using a perfect set of picnic table plans is by far the cheapest method of acquiring the unique table of your dreams.
By simply organising your time and obtaining the raw materials yourself, you are well on the way to saving yourself a great deal of money.
