Our favorite kids picnic table! Designed to fit bigger kids, this super sturdy picnic table is big enough to sit a small
adult too! Super easy to build design has been built hundreds of times already! Build photo submitted by Fethiye

This table is a little taller than our preschool picnic table plan https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-

projects/preschool-picnic-table (https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/preschool-picnic-table) and
made a little tougher – out of 2x boards instead of 1x boards. It's super easy and fun to make.
And like all plans that I design, careful consideration was made on ease of building AND conservation of materials.
For example, the top is exactly two 2×6 boards. Less waste = less supplies = less money! Gotta save you money
wherever we can!

TOOLS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Work on a clean level surface. Take a square of your project a er each step. Predrill and
countersink your screw holes. Use proper safety precautions and equipment.
Instructions
STEP 1
(https://www.ana-white.com/sites/default/files/knocko wood_big_kids_picnic_table_4.jpg)
Tabletop. Begin by cutting your tabletop supports (shown above in blue) as shown above. You can either
fasten through the tabletop with screws or you can predrill through the underside of the supports into
the underside of the tabletop boards. Leave a 1/2″ gap between the tabletop boards. Use glue and 2 1/2″
screws when fastening through the top.
STEP 2
Legs. Cut your legs as shown above, with a 30 degree angle o square on both ends. Then use 2 1/2″
screws to fasten the legs to the tabletop supports. You could also use bolts for a stronger table.
STEP 3
Seat Supports. Cut the ends of your seat supports as shown above. The angle is 45 degrees. Then fasten
the seat supports to the legs as shown above.
TIP: cut two blocks 6-1/2” long and use as spacers to set the seat supports- there is 6-1/2 inches between
the tabletop support and seat support.
Use a level on the seat supports to make sure you are fastening the seat supports level to the tabletop.
Use 2 1/2″ screws and glue. If you fasten from the inside, you can hide your screw holes.
STEP 4
Bottom Support. Take a square of your table by measuring from the opposite tips of the legs. If the
diagonals do not match, from the longer diagonal, push the opposite ends together until the diagonals
match. Fasten your support in place as shown above. Use 2 1/2″ screws.
STEP 5
STEP 6
Finishing. Fill your screw holes and sand and finish as desired.
