How I Built my Square Outdoor Dining Table for 8
The plans for this table are below, but I wanted to also share some photos of the build steps.
I used pocket holes to attach the aprons to the legs. I used 4x4s for the legs and 2x4s for the aprons.
It’s easy to build – just build two of the leg sets –
Then make the table frame by adding the remaining aprons.
To support the cedar fence pickets, I added inner 2×4 supports. This makes the table super substantial.
Here’s the umbrella framing I did.
And then just cut out the top with a jigsaw.
For the top, you can lay the boards on top long, and then cut them all at once, so the cut edges are a perfect line.
This table turned out so good! I can’t wait to see brag posts!
