I found this website when I was looking for patio dining table designs/styles. When I looked at this table, I knew I wanted it but I will have to make it myself. With no prior building experience, I gave in and purchased circ saw, sander, kreg jig and lumber.
The directions provided on the website were very easy to follow. And in about one week, I had built a new patio dining table.
I modified the plans slightly. The original table looked very small. So I added 2x6s on the long sides and 2x8s on the short sides to make the table wider/longer. And I also made the legs out of 4x4s. And for the inner skirt, I used 2x4 studs instead. Each leg is secured by 3" L brackets (3 sides) and 2 1/2 screws thru 2x4 stud on one side. This made the table stable and strong.
Dimensions:
84" L x 43" W x 31 1/2" H

Board Lengths
Sir,
Just wanted to say your table turned out great! I too have little experience and want to make this table. I have left over 2 X 6s from a pergola I put up. (Board are already stained!) Saying that, I had a question with the demensions of the the short boards and middle board between the troughs. Both short boards are 2X8s correct? The inner middle board looks like a 2X4?
Any assistance would be appreciated!
