The info provided in step 4 (bench support) is not good. If you measure 8" down from table legs, that would place the final seat height at 15" (8"+5.5+1.5"), which is pretty low and awkward. Final bench height should be around 17" for most people. I would measure down 10" from table legs. This Old House has a good picnic table build video that explains what I'm saying.
I think he’s wrong. With the 11 7/8 legs in the video it makes my measurement from the bottom of the leg almost exactly 11”. That puts seat height at approximately 18”.
The cross brace for the benches needs to be at 11 inches from the ground to the bottom of the brace. I built 2 tables using this format and it’s a perfect height for adults. The method he has is not the right height. The seat height should be just shy of 18 inches.
Only nit is on the video, the tabletop supports (3) and upper leg braces (2) and shown to be the same length as they butt together . On the material cut list, the leg braces are longer and really should not be. Why?

So, shopping online at the local Home Depot location. Found an item but they did not have any in stock. Asked if it could be ordered from another location for local pickup. Answer: "No. We don't do that anymore." So, located same item at another location about 1 hour away. Was going to jump in the truck and make the drive but thought to call first and check inventory. Good thing. After they searched about an hour, they called me back to say, "We can't locate any." I said the inventory online indicates (xx) of those things. She said inventory numbers are not reliable due to all the theft. Not detaining thieves and prosecuting thieves, is costing the honest hard-working consumer, additional money for every item. The honest folks are paying for the thievery. Home Depot obviously does not care about loss prevention since they know they can recover the losses by hiking all the other prices in the store. Feels like HD is giving its customers the middle finger. Same can be said for HD's blue signed competitor.
Just LOVE AMERICANS! You guys are amazing!
A GREAT WAY TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS DURING THE SPING AND SUMMER MONTHS!!!!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE BUILDS!!!!

@@KenandEmma23You are exactly right.
HOME DEPOT SELLS THIS WOOD PICNIC TABLE AROUND $100.00. WITH THE WOOD ALREADY PRE-CUT TO SIZE.
Nice of them to leave out the dimensions to where the legs go and the dimensions to the carriage bolt location. I guess I’ll just wing it.

I didn’t know Ryan Fitzpatrick was a woodworker
Word of advice. Make the legs a bit longer. Otherwise this turns out to be a picnic table for children.
Did you make this bench? If so how much did it cost roughly? I got a coworker who wants me to build him 4

@@kyleallen1858price will vary. Have you done any wood work before?
@@kyleallen1858 Following the material list exactly, price came to $195 with tax last week.
