PDF versionAfter see the picnic table picture from Medlock Ames' tasting room with the built in wine cooler we decided to incorporate this into our new patio table design. I really wanted this table to be more then just a cooler so I designed lids to cover the coolers when no in use.

This is fantastic!
What a great use of space in that table, too! And you could always use it to store condiments or whatever if not in use as a cooler, too! Great job!

I love this!
Great job! this table is beautiful, and I love that it has covers for when you're not boozing it up! haha. This is such a great solution for summer get-togethers. My kids would absolutely love to mix some mud pies or plant flowers in those little troughs too.

Fantastic!
My immediate reaction to seeing this was disappointment that I just built a table for my backyard. If I had waited I could have built this!
I love it.
I love it.
Am I missing something?
The legs on this table are clearly not 1x2s....so...are all the measurements off or what?

Good Catch!
I didn't even catch that. I just made a mistake when coping over my handwritten list. The legs really are 2x4s. Thank you so much for calling me out on that! I am making the changes to the blog post now.
OMG..this is officially my
OMG..this is officially my favorite table. I never cared for building things but your site has just given me a new hobby!

wider table / structurally sound question
Would anyone know what would be required if I want to make this wider? I'm thinking about adding one more board on both sides of the planter boxes. I know this means I need to widen the two end boards but I'm not sure about the legs (if they need to be larger or stronger) or if there is anything else I need to do to make it sturdy. Thanks for all those 'in the know' who can help me out. :)
I'm actually in the process
I'm actually in the process of building my table and I added two more 2x4s to make it wider. I think it'll be perfectly fine. The one question I have is what kind of planter boxes people are using? I probably should have bought them first but I forgot about it until I had the top already constructed.

I don't know about planter
I don't know about planter boxes, but I've seen rain gutter used for this, too!
Planter boxes
The planter boxes that I used for the design I found at Home Depot. The same one can be found on Amazon http://bit.ly/SkZxH3
I am sure you can use different ones but you will have to change the designed to adjust to the different size.

great idea
I've been looking into a similar design idea, for a patio table with active wine cooling technology (not ice based, but with a remodeled refrigerator integrated). My 10 years of experience at air conditioning Tucson have been very useful in coming up with a good design, still I can't get it to be power efficient.
