U-Bild 840 Octagon Picnic Table Set Project Plan
Perfect for warm-weather entertaining, this octagonal picnic set project will complement any patio or deck. A good choice for any outdoor space-no matter how large or small-the design seats eight adults comfortably in a small footprint. Inexpensive, sturdy and simple to build, the set consists of three basic components-table, bench and stool. Made from redwood (as pictured; other species will also work), the project requires only common tools and is simple enough for most woodworkers, even beginners. The entire set can be finished in a weekend or two. To build, simply cut out the pieces (the curved cuts are traced from full-size patterns), sand, assemble and apply finish. The set pictured here has two double benches and four single stools, but separate materials lists and cutting schedules leave the combination of benches and stools up to the builder. The finished table measures 55 inches across and stands 30 inches high, and the stools are 20 inches wide by 18 inches high.
