Wanted a Patio table and when I saw the plans on this site I really liked it; I just changed the plan a bit. Everything was screwed from the underside of the table, also I attached the legs with 2" lag screws.

Estimated Time Investment: 
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)

Could you give more specific on how you did the supports for the redesigned top and the measurements of your boards? I want to make this table this weekend and love your version!

I will get some more photos of the underside of the table along with measurements tomorrow; it is raining and snowing here today.

Thanks!

Perfect! Thank you!
One last question: did you use 1x3s for the supports and invert a 1x4 on top to attach the board from the bottom? Or did you attach some 1x2s to the supports?

 
 #
They are 1x4's with an inch

They are 1x4's with an inch taken off on the table saw; I didn't think to buy 1x3's. And yes they are 1x4's on top of that to screw through from the bottom.
