DIY Picnic Table

As a quick supplement to my last post, I just wanted to further stress how easy it was to build our picnic table. The awesome instructions on HandymanUSA.com, gives you a shopping list of all the wood and hardware necessary.

From you, this project only requires:

• approx. $70.00 of wood and hardware
• power drill
• hand saw
• hammer
• tape measure
• pencil
• 5-6 hours

You do need a bit of space to build it in, but you could just spend a weekend afternoon and build it all in the spot you plan to set it up. I HIGHLY recommend it. You can easily fit 8 maybe even 10 people at this table! It may be rainy and 40 degrees, but we're sitting outside anyway. We've been going through a lot of cases of beer.
