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.

attach table aprons to legs with pocket holes

I used pocket holes to attach the aprons to the legs.  I used 4x4s for the legs and 2x4s for the aprons.

build two legs sets as shown

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.

add supports and stain base

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!
