Build A Outdoor Dining Table

Summer is the perfect time to dine al fresco. If you're looking for a way to upgrade your outdoor dining experience, building your own table is a great option. It's a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours, and it will add a touch of personal style to your backyard.

Here's what you'll need to get started:

4x4 cedar posts (8 feet long)
2x6 cedar boards (8 feet long)
1x6 cedar boards (8 feet long)
Wood screws
Wood glue
Saw
Drill
Sander
Measuring tape
Level

Once you have all of your materials, you can follow these steps to build your table:

Cut the 4x4 posts to length. You'll need four posts that are each 30 inches long.
Cut the 2x6 boards to length. You'll need six boards that are each 60 inches long.
Cut the 1x6 boards to length. You'll need eight boards that are each 48 inches long.
Assemble the table frame. Attach the 2x6 boards to the 4x4 posts using wood screws. Make sure that the boards are flush with the tops of the posts.
Attach the table top. Glue and screw the 1x6 boards to the table frame. Make sure that the boards are evenly spaced.
Sand the table. Once the glue has dried, sand the table to smooth out any rough edges.
Finish the table. You can protect your table from the elements by applying a coat of paint or sealant.

Your outdoor dining table is now complete! Enjoy dining al fresco with your family and friends.
