How To Make Patio Table

A patio table is a great addition to any outdoor space. It provides a place to eat, drink, and socialize with friends and family. Building your own patio table is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a weekend. Here are the steps on how to make a patio table:

Materials:

4x4 cedar posts (4)
2x6 cedar planks (12)
1x6 cedar planks (4)
Wood screws
Wood glue
Sandpaper
Stain or paint (optional)

Tools:

Saw
Drill
Screwdriver
Sander
Measuring tape
Level

Instructions:

Cut the 4x4 posts to the desired height of the table.
The standard height for a patio table is 30 inches, but you can adjust this to your preference.
Assemble the base of the table by attaching the 4x4 posts to the 2x6 planks.
Use wood screws and wood glue to secure the joints. Make sure that the base is square and level.
Attach the 1x6 planks to the top of the base.
Use wood screws and wood glue to secure the planks. Make sure that the planks are flush with the edges of the base.
Sand the table to smooth out any rough edges.
You can also round the edges of the table for a more finished look.
Stain or paint the table (optional).
If you want to protect the table from the elements, you can stain or paint it. Allow the stain or paint to dry completely before using the table.

Your patio table is now complete! Enjoy your new outdoor space with friends and family.
